Automatic updates? Node.js? Why would one want to use this over the tried-and-tested Network UPS Tools that already ships with most Linux distributions?

A lockfile with 10k lines of deps and bundling a whole-ass Node.js runtime is truly bonkers for a system utility like this. The JavaScript ecosystem exhausts me.

This only installs 3 modules in total. net-snmp and 2 sub dependencies. It provides its own node.js bin directly from the node website so nupst knows exactly what it is working with.

Anyways, you don’t have to use it.
