require fails with new npm about riak-js HOT 4 CLOSED

I wound up fixing this myself and have a pull request open for the patch: https://github.com/frank06/riak-js/pull/49

from riak-js.

More info from isaacs on IRC:

pdelgallego_ joined the chat room.
[1:45pm] isaacs: mjr__: Here's the problem:
[1:45pm] isaacs: $ cat node_modules/riak-js/.gitignore
[1:45pm] isaacs: lib/
[1:45pm] isaacs: .testing/
[1:46pm] chyoku left the chat room. (Remote host closed the connection)
[1:46pm] isaacs: since there's no .npmignore, it's ignoring what's in the .gitignore
[1:46pm] mjr__: did that change in 1.0?
[1:46pm] chyoku joined the chat room.
[1:46pm] isaacs: mjr__: yes
[1:46pm] alexandere joined the chat room.
[1:46pm] isaacs: mjr__: by overwhelmingly popular demand, npm now ignores whatever is in the .gitignore, if no .npmignore is present.
[1:47pm] isaacs: easy fix: add a blank .npmignore file
[1:47pm] dahankzter left the chat room. (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
[1:47pm] tjholowaychuk: isaacs: wahoo, that is nice
[1:47pm] mjr__: huh
[1:47pm] hassox joined the chat room.
[1:47pm] • bradleymeck ponders porting node api's to Titanium appcelerator
[1:48pm] johnzzz joined the chat room.
[1:48pm] isaacs: mjr__: very short-term immediate fix: npm explore riak-js cake build
[1:48pm] isaacs: (provided that you first install coffee-script)
[1:48pm] Kholo left the chat room. (Ping timeout: 246 seconds)
[1:48pm] isaacs: mjr__: or, riak-js could put "cake build" as a preinstall script
[1:48pm] fermion left the chat room. (Quit: Bye!)
[1:49pm] isaacs: or add "files" : ["lib"] to the package.json to prevent it from being ignored, or add a blank .npmignore

Should be fixed in [email protected]. Let me know otherwise.

Thank you! I was just working on a patch for this. Glad I don't have to now!
