npm update for 0.12

[rvagg]

As per nodejs/node#8928, thanks to @ChALkeR for the ping. The LICENSE is finally updated in npm@2, it might be appropriate for us to ship this in both 0.10 and 0.12 since we're still shipping the old, problematic license. Thoughts @nodejs/lts?

[jasnell]

We certainly could. Is that by itself enough to justify a new release of v0.10 tho?

[mhdawson]

I'm not sure its worth it for 0.10.X. Its been the way it is for a long time and 0.10.x should only be in use for a few more weeks.

[rvagg]

should only be in use for a few more weeks

That's 0.10 in the blue there not doing a very good job at dying, unlike 0.12.

It's going to be used a lot longer than that, particularly given that it's included in some Linux distros that will live for a long time. I'd argue that getting a release out with a correct license is the responsible thing to do with a release line that folks are already having a hard time considering giving up on.

Labelled version cause I realise there's more interesting stuff in here for folks.

I'd be up for putting together a 0.10 and 0.12 release including the npm
update and the cares patch

@thealphanerd I think we should still stick to our process of not bundling non-trivial and non-build things with security releases so this would actually mean two releases, one for c-ares and one for npm

[MylesBorins]

It was decided on today's call that @Fishrock123 would backport to v0.12 and that we would have a no-op for 0.10

this issue should be closed when the PR is opened, I am going to edit the title to reflect the current state of things

[ErisDS]

Sorry I couldn't be there this time. Can you explain what no-op for 0.10 means?

[Fishrock123]

0.10 is EOL so we are not going to another release in any official capacity. (with or without updated npm)

[MylesBorins]

@ErisDS yeah, sorry for the poor choice of wording there. We will not be doing another 0.10 release is what I meant to say

[Fishrock123]

Closing, moving to the PR: nodejs/node#9619
