Public bug reported: npm is already at version 2.5.1 and Ubuntu is still packaging version 1.4.21 which was released in July 2014. Version 2.0 introduced significant improvements in terms of its run-script functionality and on other areas. It's a potentially backwards-incompatible upgrade though.
Users can always install the latest npm themselves, but it would be nice to have a more recent version in the package repository. ** Affects: npm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: - NPM is already at version 2.5.1 and Ubuntu is still packaging version + npm is already at version 2.5.1 and Ubuntu is still packaging version 1.4.21 which was released in July 2014.
