missing attached doc when replicating

[marvinrichter]

I'm trying to replicate the npm registry incl. the attachments and I use:

• CouchDB 1.6.0
• npm-registry-couchapp
• npm-fullfat-registry

The problem is, https://docs.npmjs.com/misc/registry says that https://skimdb.npmjs.com/registry is the public mirror of http://registry.npmjs.org/ but there are differences.

For example:
http://registry.npmjs.org/gulp/3.8.10 exists but
https://skimdb.npmjs.com/registry/gulp/3.8.10 does not exist

So i guess when replicating with npm-fullfat-registry, it will only be generated the parent doc but not the versions as attached docs.

That's a huge problem when dependencies are declared as fixed versions, because npm will then try to just fetch this document.
