Thanks for adding npm! In the time since I installed it manually, it's apparently jumped 7 minor versions already and I didn't know it. Now I can keep it up to date with MacPorts. :)

Why fetch from git and not from the above tarball?

"use_configure no" and "build {}" strongly suggest to me that this port needs "supported_archs noarch".

There should not be a / before ${prefix}; ${prefix} already begins with /

The port's livecheck doesn't work.


$ port livecheck npm
Error: cannot check if npm was updated (The requested URL returned error: 406)
