Politely recommend CPR over NCP

stefanpenner opened this issue 9 years ago · comments

I can appreciate the existing maintainers are likely busy, so in the interim I would like to recommend users the similar node_module CPR.

Milage may vary, but for my use-cases it was a drop-in replacement with the added benefit of nearly eliminating all my existing intermittent CI failures.

The maintainers appear active and responsive.

If i myself had more bandwidth I would offer my time to help maintain this project, unfortunately my queue is full and I hope to save others time and energy by making this recommendation.

I hope this doesn't cause any anger or hurt feelings. It absolutely is not my intent.

Thank you! Currently NCP has problem with filter! I tried to use CPR and everything works great!

Thanks. Please note that if you get uv_pipe errors, you need to use cpr in the main process (electron application).

Hi. NCP seems to have a transform function which allows me to change the content of the files before copying. Does CPR have such a functionality?. Thanks.

I dropped in CPR in place of NCP and it worked without much code changing at all. I was having issues with NCP when updating from node v0.10 to v4, and this seems not to have the same problem.

Filtering by exclusion (cpr) instead of inclusion (ncp) makes things easier, especially because negating regexes with negative lookahead in JS is difficult.
