Storage separation between public cached modules and private modules about sinopia HOT 4 CLOSED

Right now it's possible to run 2 different sinopia instances. First one is where you publish modules (no uplinks configured at all, no cache), and second one is where you install from (2 uplinks: first instance and npmjs). If you have it on two different servers, cache would be a bonus backup. :)

But I suppose there's no harm in adding that feature. How do you think the configuration file would look like?

Simply a kind of...

public_storage: ./public_storage
private_storage: ./private_storage

Thanks for your work.

Now it can be done with config like this:

packages:
  'local-*':
    allow_access: somebody
    allow_publish: somebody
    storage: 'private_storage'

  '*':
    allow_access: somebody
    proxy: npmjs
    storage: 'public_storage'

Just for the information, packages aren't really divided to "private" and "public".

If sinopia is configured to proxy all requests to npmjs, okay it's public. If it's configured to allow publishing packages by somebody, okay it's private. But it can be configured to mix public versions of certain package with privately published versions, and I don't really know how to call that...

So I added a feature allowing to override "storage" property to a certain group of packages as shown above. It looks like a bit more flexible and a bit less misleading approach.
