Maintaining npm in Node.js

Step 1: Clone npm

$ git clone https://github.com/npm/npm.git
$ cd npm

or if you already have npm cloned make sure the repo is up to date

$ git remote update -p
$ git reset --hard origin latest

Step 2: Build release

$ git checkout vX.Y.Z
$ make release

Note: please run npm dist-tag ls npm and make sure this is the latest dist-tag. latest on git is usually released as next when it's time to downstream

Step 3: Remove old npm

$ cd /path/to/node
$ git remote update -p
$ git checkout -b npm-x.y.z origin/master
$ cd deps
$ rm -rf npm

Step 4: Extract and commit new npm

$ tar zxf /path/to/npm/release/npm-x.y.z.tgz
$ git add -A npm
$ git commit -m "deps: upgrade npm to x.y.z"
$ cd ..

Step 5: Update licenses

$ ./configure
$ make -j4
$ ./tools/license-builder.sh
# The following commands are only necessary if there are changes
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "doc: update npm LICENSE using license-builder.sh"

Note: please ensure you are only making the updates that are changed by npm.

Step 6: Apply Whitespace fix

$ git rebase --whitespace=fix master

Step 7: Test the build

$ make test-npm
