ipfs-npm = registry-mirror.next()

[daviddias]

I'm working towards a new iteration of registry-mirror, now known as ipfs-npm to include a more friendly UX. Hopefully, we will also have unixfs-sharding soon in go-ipfs, enabling ipfs-npm to work for a full copy of the registry.

I'm going to do README driven development for this iteration, writing the interface first and then implementing the features. The goal is to have:

• ipnpm registry clone - Downloads and stores the entire npm repository into IPFS
• ipnpm registry index publish - Publishes the current index we know as an IPNS name, so that we can share the index with others
• ipnpm registry index fetch- Fetches the latest known index from the IPFS network
• ipnpm daemon - Starts an ipfs-npm daemon, so that we can point our npm cli to it
• ipnpm install <module> - Tries to install through IPFS, if the module is not available, fallbacks and installs through regular registry.
