Audit dependencies for angular2 in package.json

[rkirov]

Currently we are listing obvious dev dependencies like gulp-insert as runtime dependencies.

So, I totally agree that we should be more strict about what we put in the https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/master/package.json file, but my understanding is that the package.json that gets pushed to npm is generated from https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/master/modules/angular2/package.json

Yes, this is correct

@pkozlowski-opensource Right, so technically the top level package.json can never be used as a dependency to other projectes since it is never published to npm.

The only other case where it matters would be if someone uses jspm github:angular/angular.

Hey everyone, i would not mind taking care of this minor issue, we just need to move certain dependencies like gulp-insert from runtime dependencies to to dev dependencies in the https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/master/package.json file correct?

I have never contributed to Angular before so this looks like a nice, super easy issue to start with. Ive used angularJS 1.3 and now 1.4 for about a year at work, so i have experience using AngularJS and i have messed around and done some little personal projects using Angular and am loving it even more than i love AngularJS.

Go for it, make sure to read https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/master/npm-shrinkwrap.readme.md

I don't plan to work on this before the end of the week, but if it is still open before the next alpha, I will handle it myself.
