Was hoping the ability to change the executable would help, but
pnpmuses a--formatflag instead of the--parsableflag that UnigetUI calls with, which means I still don't see any updates for my JS packages 😔EDM115 commentedon Jul 21, 2025
the problem with this is that the "Node" ecosystem is very fragmented.
already 4 major package managers (including NPM), + you can also now handle package updates with runtimes (Deno and Bun)

I see no easy way to fix this beyond a rewrite of the npm code to have effectively four subpackage managers that it uses to craft arguments and such.

Does it have to be supported within the npm package manger, or would it be cleaner to create separate package managers for pnpm, yarn, etc.? They don't conflict with each other in their global scopes, which is where packages installed through UniGetUI would be scoped.
