xmldom dependency issue about node-samlp HOT 4 OPEN

Hi,
I'm encountering this same issue, we do not have git installed and we would not like to install it.
We are currently using oraclelinux Docker container and it does not contain git by default and we like to keep it that way.

You can easily test this by:

docker pull oraclelinux
docker run -it --entrypoint /bin/bash oraclelinux

yum install -y npm

npm init
# do init stuff to get package.json file
npm i --save samlp

Installation stops in error:

Possible solution could be yarn which installs samlp properly, but because we are not using yarn it would make too much changes to our scripts. (large project)

Solution in samlp would be that in package.jsonfile you would directly point to .tar.gz file in xmldom dependency to fix this or publish your xmldom in to npm registry.

@ziluvatar could you verify this and perhaps fix package.json in samlp side?

Here is PR on this #87

from node-samlp.

Is there any progress on this? This is a huge issue when there is no git present on the system.

Can this please be fixed or #87 looked at and merged. Much of the corporate world is stuck behind firewalls and can't access github directly. We just want xmldom resolved from npm if possible.
