But the
does not contain the source nor the build. Why?
Recommended for you: Get network issues from WhatsUp Gold. Not end users.
Answer Source
src/ is banned in the .npmignore folder (if we talk about this repo)
https://github.com/clauderic/react-sortable-hoc/blob/master/.npmignore
...and the implicit prepublish triggers build only on a regular “published install”, not if you install directly from github... (also learnt that the hard way).
Try with any wellknown package, by not installing it in the standard way but from github directly, to verify.
Painful, indeed. Best thing one can do on his own repos is to use the "preinstall" hook. (And not ban the src/-Folder for it, to work).
You could clone the repo, allow src/ folder (remove from .npmignore), and move build-process to "preinstall" hook...
