Are forks in package.json still needed?

[RaitoBezarius]

Hi there, I am trying to package Zulip server in NixOS.

I see there are two forks in package.json for source-maps and postcss-media-minimax.

Are those still needed because upstream do not have the changes? Is there anything tracking merging the required changes in upstream?

I ask because it makes it quite hard to package, plus, it is complicated to reason on supply chain security with this kind of things.

Thank you a lot!

Yes, we are tracking these.

• Backport #308 to apply to 0.6 mozilla/source-map#370
• Change integer pixels by .02px rather than 1px postcss/postcss-media-minmax#28

We are interested in adopting Nix, so we’re willing to consider changes that make it easier—but we do make use of the ability to occasionally fork dependencies from Git and need to preserve it.
