os-tmpdir

Registry deprecationdanger

The entire package is deprecated because Node.js 4 and later provide the same functionality through `os.tmpdir()`, with no replacement package named. This directly makes depending on the package unfit despite its otherwise simple implementation.

Repository archiveddanger

The linked repository is archived, and its last push was on January 24, 2021, indicating that active maintenance has ended. This reinforces the package-level deprecation.

Project backingcaution

The repository is owned by an individual account rather than an organization, so there is no organizational backing shown by this signal. The explicit deprecation and archived repository make this lack of backing relevant.

Release historycaution

The package has four releases since May 2015, with no releases in the last 12 months and its latest release on November 8, 2018. That long-standing inactivity is consistent with the package being obsolete.

Repo commit activitycaution

The repository had zero commits and zero active maintainers in the last three months. The archived status explains this, but it still confirms there is no current maintenance capacity.
