If offline builds, license checking, or stable dependency versions are not important to you then you can use the meta-nodejs layer. It just uses the yarn tool directly https://github.com/imyller/meta-nodejs.
On a hijacked side note has yarn been considered as a solution to some of our npm issues? It seems to be npm with built in licnese checking and better version determination. Might not cover 100% of our use cases, but then npm only seems to work 50% of the time without tweaking something anyways. -----Original Message----- From: openembedded-core-boun...@lists.openembedded.org [mailto:openembedded-core-boun...@lists.openembedded.org] On Behalf Of Jan Kiszka Sent: Wednesday, June 07, 2017 7:04 AM To: Alexander Kanavin; openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org Cc: Paul Eggleton Subject: Re: [OE-core] Fun with npm shrinkwrap On 2017-06-07 13:43, Alexander Kanavin wrote: > On 06/06/2017 06:14 PM, Jan Kiszka wrote: > >> Yeah, good points.

Can't promise anything at this point, but I will carry this forward, in all directions.
