Asset preparer issue

[stephamon]

There were some build issues when I tried to add some new assets for support.rackspace.com, so we reverted the PR. In the build output, there are a bunch of deprecated packages related to the asset preparer:

npm WARN deprecated minimatch@0.2.14: Please update to minimatch 3.0.2 or higher to avoid a RegExp DoS issue
npm WARN deprecated coffee-script@1.3.3: CoffeeScript on NPM has moved to "coffeescript" (no hyphen)
npm WARN deprecated minimatch@0.3.0: Please update to minimatch 3.0.2 or higher to avoid a RegExp DoS issue
npm WARN deprecated graceful-fs@1.2.3: please upgrade to graceful-fs 4 for compatibility with current and future versions of Node.js
npm WARN deprecated hoek@2.16.3: This version is no longer maintained. Please upgrade to the latest version.
npm WARN deprecated cryptiles@2.0.5: This version is no longer maintained. Please upgrade to the latest version.
npm WARN deprecated boom@2.10.1: This version is no longer maintained. Please upgrade to the latest version.
npm WARN deprecated minimatch@2.0.10: Please update to minimatch 3.0.2 or higher to avoid a RegExp DoS issue

Then at the bottom of the output, the following error shows: Error running the asset preparer. { [Error: socket hang up] code: 'ECONNRESET' }

When the PR with the new asset files was merged, the build error had something to do with npm, so I suspect that the packages might need to be updated before I can upload any asset files.

I've got a new product for the How-To waiting on this, so it's kind of priority for me.
