[GitHub] [cordova-cli] erisu edited a comment on pull request #570: feat: rebuilt package-lock w/ v2

   Some points about the package-lock is that is apart of NPM's structure, not Node.js.
   
   People could have installed an older Node.js and installed the latest NPM with `npm i -g npm@latest`.
   
   The package-lock is a development file and never bundled with the production release package.
   
   About the version support, https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v7/configuring-npm/package-lock-json#lockfileversion
   
   > Note that the file format changed significantly in npm v7 to track information that would have otherwise required looking in node_modules or the npm registry. Lockfiles generated by npm v7 will contain lockfileVersion: 2.
   > 
   > No version provided: an "ancient" shrinkwrap file from a version of npm prior to npm v5.
   > 
   > 1: The lockfile version used by npm v5 and v6.
   > 2: The lockfile version used by npm v7, which is backwards compatible to v1 lockfiles.
   > 3: The lockfile version used by npm v7, without backwards compatibility affordances. This is used for the hidden lockfile at node_modules/.package-lock.json, and will likely be used in a future version of npm, once support for npm v6 is no longer relevant.
   > 
   > npm will always attempt to get whatever data it can out of a lockfile, even if it is not a version that it was designed to support.
