Comment(by ciserlohn@…):

 I don't remember the details but back when I did the first port of npm I
 had some trouble with the release tarball. So I went for the git-fetch &
 make route. This was unproblematic (expect that always fetching the
 sources with git is somewhat inefficient) so there was no reason to change
 that. As there are now some problems with building the docs and the npm
 developer suggest using the release tarball I'll have another look at
 using the release tarball for the port. Please have a little patience.
