npmjs package does not include readme

Strange, doesn't NPM usually include it by default? Or do I need to add it to the files array in package.json to explicitly tell NPM to include the readme?

[arve0]

The manual states:

Certain files are always included, regardless of settings:

README is in that list.

Use some build process for README, which makes it disappear when you do npm publish?

What does this mean?

[arve0]

Long shot: Do you use some build process, that deletes README.md locally, so that npm publish cannot find README.md by some race condition?

[jonschlinkert]

no, I see what you mean. There is always a README.md when doing npm publish. good thinking though.

The README is there on npm now. It was probably a bug on npm's side when publishing at once point. I have seen other packages that this has happened to and it's usually fixed when the next version is published.
