Node source url is wrong

[alandarev]

I am trying to compile js-bson[1], where node source is required. The issue is that GYP tries to download the node source code from wrong location (npm repository instead of node):

js-bson]$ make
node-gyp clean
gyp info it worked if it ends with ok
gyp info using node-gyp@1.0.2
gyp info using node@0.10.33 | linux | x64
gyp info ok 
node-gyp configure build
gyp info it worked if it ends with ok
gyp info using node-gyp@1.0.2
gyp info using node@0.10.33 | linux | x64
gyp http GET https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/v0.10.33/node-v0.10.33.tar.gz
gyp http 404 https://github.com/npm/npm/releases/v0.10.33/node-v0.10.33.tar.gz
gyp WARN install got an error, rolling back install
gyp ERR! configure error 
gyp ERR! stack Error: 404 status code downloading tarball

As you can see, it tries to download Node from NPM, and I have no clue why.

It's a bug in npm itself: npm/npm#6923

I don't think this is a bug in npm, but it's maybe one on www.npmjs.com, and it's not really a bug there, either – it's just npm and node-gyp having incompatible expectations. See npm/npm#6923 for details, but in short the old redirect from npmjs.org/dist/ to nodejs.org/dist/ won't work unless or until there's some way to ensure new versions of npm are added to the directory (nobody at npm now can do that). In the short term, node-gyp should be updated to look to nodejs.org instead of npmjs.org. I'll probably float a patch to the node-gyp bundled in npm for now.

@othiym23 node-gyp does use nodejs.org

This is all me trying to figure out what's going on from my phone. Fixed in npm/npm#cf7aeae3c3a24e48d3de4006fa082f0c6040922a and published as npm@2.1.14. It's fine to close this issue now, @TooTallNate. Sorry for the noise!
