chore(release): rename npm wrapper to nodeup-cli#37
Merged
Conversation
`nodeup` on npmjs.com is owned by an unrelated, dormant 2015 package (romanmt/nodeup, "a simple cluster implementation for node"), so we cannot claim that name. Ship the wrapper as `nodeup-cli` instead - keeps the `nodeup` brand token visible while leaving the binary itself unchanged (still installs as `nodeup` on $PATH). Updates: - nodeup-npm/package.json name field - README.md Installation section (matrix entry + npm section) - docs/installation.md (matrix entry + npm section + footer) - nodeup-npm/README.md (install cmd + clarify the rename rationale) - docs/release-checklist.md (claim prerequisite now references `nodeup-cli` instead of `nodeup`) Verified: `npm pack --dry-run` from nodeup-npm/ now produces `nodeup-cli-1.0.0.tgz` with the same 5 files.

Summary
Renames the npm wrapper from
nodeuptonodeup-clibecausethe bare
nodeupname on npmjs.com is owned by an unrelated,dormant 2015 package (
romanmt/nodeup— "a simple clusterimplementation for node"). npmjs.com does not allow publishing
under an existing name, so we ship under
nodeup-cliinstead.The downloaded binary still installs as the
nodeupCLI on$PATH— only the npm package name changed, not the brand,not the binary, not the release pipeline.
Why
nodeup-clivsnodeupgrader/@dipto0321/nodeup/ others:nodeup-clikeeps thenodeupbrand token visible-clisuffix matches the npm convention for a CLI tool whenthe bare name is taken (
eslint-cli,tsc-cli,http-server-cli)@scope/nodeup)npm viewfirst; manyare taken, the rest are noisier
