I think there are some good ideas discussed here: https://github.com/npm/rfcs/blob/latest/accepted/0011-npm-link-changes.md
I find the current behavior of
npm link
to be useful to me for local development, especially for testing my package before I publish; i.e., I get to to test out what the end user will feel when installing my package. It's also less writing for me thanln -s target path
, and just works when I have to change my platform.npm install --link
is incredibly useful when it works. It can be made more useful if it saved the things it just installed to my package.json.In short, I don't think a breaking change needs to be introduced. I think terminology and language of the commands are important.
