Node.js types are incorrect/outdated

[mike-morr]

Steps to reproduce:

npm install @types/node

Expected Results:

The node v6 typings should be in index.d.ts in the node_modules/@types/node directory.

Actual Results:

The node v4 typings are in index.d.ts in the node_modules/@types/node directory.

The definition file is what is on definitelytyped (https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/blob/types-2.0/node/index.d.ts). Please send DefinitelyTyped a PR for the updated definitions, and i will get it published to @types

Master Branch

I guess typings installs from the master branch by default?

[mhegazy]

We should be doing a merge from master in the next few days.

@rakatyal can we get a merge done this week?

Why are the typings not built from https://github.com/types/env-node?

[mhegazy]

The packages are published from definitlytyped, if you believe this is more accurate feel free to update the one in definitlytyped to match it.

@mhegazy Can we try to prioritise redirects so duplicated efforts can be reduced ASAP? @types can even support NPM installs directly using git but a lot of people find it difficult to contribute to DefinitelyTyped (especially if they'd want to help maintain a definition instead of contributing it once and forgetting about it).

Edit: You can also use @types as a publish target directly, if there's a spec on what needs to be done to support that.

For context, redirects is tracked by #4

We would be happy to take PRs for this feature if anyone is interested in contributing. most of the infrastructure is already in place.

Looks like this can be closed now as @types/node now has 6.0 typings and we have a separate issue for redirects.
