Missing NPM Versions

markwallsgrove opened this issue 8 years ago · comments

Versions 1.2.2 & 1.2.3 have suddenly disappeared from NPM. Please could you upload them again? Weirdly the versions element within the XML doesn't include either version, but the time element does include them https://registry.npmjs.org/which/.

I'm seeing this issue as well.

Those versions were unpublished on purpose. They were fundamentally broken, and the bug was corrected in 1.2.4. (see: 257dff2 and 2d5dbe5)
That's JSON, not XML.
The time field includes all versions that have ever been published, even if they are subsequently unpublished.
No, I cannot upload versions 1.2.2 and 1.2.3 again, because once a version number is used, it can never be re-used again. This is by design.

Use 1.2.4 instead.

You should not unpublish versions because of bugs. Thats why versioning exists. You are accidentally breaking dependency trees in dependant packages.

Anyone using the package at version 1.2.2 or 1.2.3 was already 100% broken.

What package can't be installed? I'll send them a PR to update their dep.
