Pm2: purpose of gkt dependency

[hhellbusch]

What is the point of the GKT dependency?

Looking at the code.. it does nothing.

If there is no point to this package, I think it should be removed from the dependency list.

---

Noticed due to troubles during install due to SSL inspection / resigning. Able to work around by upgrading to latest NPM. Looks like others have had issues due to this as well. (e.g.

w/ NPM v4.x

npm ERR! fetch failed https://tgz.pm2.io/gkt-1.0.0.tgz
npm WARN retry will retry, error on last attempt: Error: unable to get local issuer certificate
npm ERR! fetch failed https://tgz.pm2.io/gkt-1.0.0.tgz
npm WARN retry will retry, error on last attempt: Error: unable to get local issuer certificate

w/ NPM v5.0.1

npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: gkt@https://tgz.pm2.io/gkt-1.0.0.tgz (node_modules/pm2/node_modules/gkt):
npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: request to https://tgz.pm2.io/gkt-1.0.0.tgz failed, reason: unable to get local issuer certificate

We already answered on few issues actually but anyway : it's a optional dependency that is used for analytics purpose.
I wasn't able to reproduce your problem (with both npm 4 & 5) but i restart the application that handle this request, is it fixed for you ?

Issue on my end due to ssl inspection from the firewall. Issue would be difficult to reproduce elsewhere.

Will try later and update.

Sadly i can't help you otherwise, you can just use npm install -g pm2 --no-optional but it may still break on older npm version due to the fact that the flag isn't working properly.

It's broken again.

It totally sucks! Please remove it.

Go install the latest pm2 version
