I should probably note that I am completely new to all this nodejs business (both nix-related and in general). I’m a little bit worried that this commit also updates lots of other packages and I don’t know how bad that is, but, well, I followed the README.

Speaking about firebase-tools, I verified that it properly communicates with the server, lists projects and successfully deployed my website.

Are node packages dead? That’s sad 😞.

Hiiiii ✋

Seem like nobody have solution for generate.sh mess with these two files,

pkgs/development/node-packages/node-packages-v4.nix
pkgs/development/node-packages/node-packages-v6.nix

#27952 #23771 #25770 #26018

Closing this for now because this is way too much LOC to add to nixpkgs for a single package. Plus v3.9.1 is already obsoleted upstream anyway.
But feel free to reopen or come back with a new PR if you work on this again. :)

The lines of code might be not only only accounted for the tool itself but also updating other packages.

The fact that I get back to this PR relatively rarely doesn’t meen that I don’t want firebase-tools in nixpkgs. I still do. If all the PRs adding node expressions are going to be closed as “too much LOC” then I’m not sure how to proceed.

I don't have the authority to decide how to fix node-packages-v*.nix but if you want to try reducing the diff, try checkout latest version of these files from master and rerun generate.sh.
