• gentlyrm: Don't abort early if npm controlled path is missing
  Previously if any of the npm controlled paths had an ENOENT then we would
  return fales from isEverInside– not an error condition, but a failed match.
  What we actually want to do is ONLY do that if ALL of the paths are ENOENT. If
  any aren't, then we want to test them normally.

• tests: Build on, rather than replace, common environment
  That is, previously some tests were running child npm's with from-scratch
  environments. Instead this makes it build on what common-npm put
  together, making changes to that. We need this because we needed a way for
  common-npm to suppress warnings about prerelease versions of node.

• install: fix unclean unbuild of nested packages with bin
  Previously, installed packages that contained node_modules with a .bin
  directory woudn't get cleaned up correctly. After unbuild of that particular
  package, npm would complain with ENOENT errors because the package directory
  would be empty (without package.json), as it only contains the leftover
  node_modules/.bin directory.

• node-gyp-bin: fix custom node-gyp env var quoting
  npm sets node_config_node_gyp without quotes, so its usage should be
  quoted. Indeed, it is a better practice to define environment variables
  that contain paths without quotes and quote their usage.

• install: fix race condition correcting cache directory ownership
  Previously, correctMkdir() would cache the results early within its
  operation (after the stat, before calling chownr) meaning that any second
  call would immediately return the cached results, before the earlier chownr
  finishes. This causes a race condition where the initial chownr would fail
  with ENOENT (or similar errors) trying to scan files that were being
  actively created/deleted/etc by the install process. The fix guards the
  whole correctMkdir function with inflight() so that multiple calls do not do
  chownr simultaneously nor return early. It would also be reasonable to not
  cache the results until after the chownr has finished, however that would
  still lead to an even more subtle race condition, so the guard on the whole
  call is required.

perhaps you could disable this auto-PR service until you can stop pinging people unnecessarily?

[marekventur]

I thought I had already done so, apologies. I already have a solution for this problem and until it is fixed I have stopped the task. Sorry for the inconvenience this has caused.

Thanks.
