installation via npm is broken

[lubieowoce]

the 0.3.0 version available on NPM is currently broken. the issue is that its package.json puts no version bounds on mkdirp, so it gets mkdirp==1.0.x, which had a breaking API change from mkdirp==0.5.x, the version canopy 0.3.0 used. this was actually fixed in fc11abe, but never made it into a release.

as a workaround, i put up a mirror that installs correctly at lubieowoce/canopy-compat, but it'd be nice to have an official release that can be installed via the usual channels :)

This is duplicate of #48, #46, #43, #40, #38, #37, possibly others. I am working on the next release of canopy and it will ship whenever I have time to get it finished.

My bad, I didn't to check closed issues 😅 Wouldn't it make sense to keep one open just to stop people from opening new ones though?

(If you want to skip the noise of "hey it's still broken for me" comments, you could add a "i'll get to it when i get to it" comment and lock the discussion, I feel like that'd save everyone some time and effort!)

BTW if you're accepting contributions, I'd be happy to help getting the next version out! 🙂

This should now be fixed as part of the v0.4 release; see https://blog.jcoglan.com/2022/04/01/announcing-canopy-0-4/
