The mechanics of npm (which requires components not distributed with the =
tarball) have always required Sunpoet to repackage it himself. For the =
last few versions, the build has increased to about 7 minutes, about =
6:45 of which is npm trying to dial out and failing. As long as Sunpoet =
needs to repackage it himself, making it a simple extraction for the =
end-user is much cleaner and simpler.
