Is this lib deprecated?

[ssordatic]

Hello I'm getting this error in npm when I install loopback
npm WARN deprecated har-validator@5.1.5: this library is no longer supported

Also curious the background on this. If you need a new maintainer, we're willing to take it on at @readmeio.

indeed, i'm no longer able to maintain this library.

complications include:

• being nested in dep chain of many projects due to request lib using it (my fault)
• npm cli itself is indirectly dependant on this library, npm -> request -> har-validator which also means the entirety of Node.js is dependant on this library not breaking, since Node.js ships with the npm cli.

if you're wiling to take ownership of it, I can happily pass it, but be warned, and do your research first (see issues for history of pain) to see what you're adopting.

that said, this is technically feature complete, and aside from dependency updates (because security warnings) there is not much to improve / add / change in the functionality ...

@ahmadnassri since this is now marked as no longer supported, it always logs

npm WARN deprecated har-validator@5.1.5: this library is no longer supported

Whenever you are using a package that depends on this. Can we either transfer the ownership or undo the npm warning?

[Ahmad Nassri]

I think the deprecation and the warning are functionning as expected, if you don't want to see warnings, set the npm loglevel to error
