ember-*** packages include the `tmp` dir.

[ChALkeR]

Disclaimer: I do not use the package, this was found during automated npm packages downloading.

ember-*** npm packages commonly include tmp (and .idea) directories.
tmp directories have sizes from 0 MiB to 621 MiB per package. They include duplicate copies of some scripts, and I suspect that are not actually needed in the distribution. I suspect that these directories grow over time (from release to release).

This seems to be a common problem for all ember-*** packages, hence reporting here.

List of packages (may be incomplete) with the tmp directory size in bytes:

I found tmp dir in 87 packages and .idea dir in 64 packages. There could be more.

I reported that to three packages already. If you want to fix that per-package, you could file appropriate issues yourself.

This was fixed in ember-cli/ember-cli#3539, and has been included in versions since ember-cli@0.2.1. Once these packages update to > 0.2.1 (unless they opt out of the upgrade) they will properly ignore tmp and `dist.
