Required node version not working?

[rmetzler]

I think v0.1.97-18-g9be6c50 should be sufficient when version 0.1.97 is required.

rmetzler@Richard-Metzlers-iMac:~/Code/npm$ sudo npm install riak-js
The "ini" module will be removed in future versions of Node, please extract it into your own code.

Discussed in irc. Works as expected in npm@0.1.14

[rmetzler]

sorry, could you please explain or provide a link to where I can find more information version 0.1.97-18-g9be6c50 is not sufficient for a package that requires 0.1.97 ?

tested with npm@0.1.14

[isaacs]

Can you please post a link to the package.json file?

Note that now, 0.1.97-18-g9be6c50 is interpreted as being greater than 0.1.97. So, if you have this in your package.json, then it won't satisfy:

"engines" : { "node" : "0.1.97" }

But, this should work:

"engines" : { "node" : ">=0.1.97" }

If that's what you'er doing, then it might be affected by a regression in semver that I introduced last night and just fixed in 0.1.15.

I just pulled the new commits from GitHub and re-installed npm. It works now as expected. Thank you very much!
