Missing git repositories on "npm install" and libudev update

[Maliuta]

When attempting to build streamlink-twitch-gui as per instructions there are two problems,

1. When checking out the "packages branch" an issue about [the now deprecated] libudev.so.0 file (should probably be able to deal with both libudev.so.1 and libudev.so.0):
   `nikolai@donetsk:~/src/Streamlink/streamlink-twitch-gui$ git checkout origin/packages
   Note: checking out 'origin/packages'.

You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

git checkout -b

HEAD is now at be096c3... Add missing libudev.so.0 fix to deb/rpm postinst

`

2. When running 'npm install' there are several issues with missing github repositories:

`nikolai@donetsk:~/src/Streamlink/streamlink-twitch-gui$ npm install

O/S: GNU/Linux
Distribution: Debian
Release: Unstable/Sid

I was able to install streamlink from the Ubuntu ppa (using the xenial distribution name) after some messing around getting proper gpg keys for it.

I am attaching the full log produced by npm.

The packages branch hasn't been updated since 2016-10-14, was rebased to the master branch again on 2017-03-16 and is still 123 commits behind. If you have any issues with this branch, you should comment in its dedicated pull request #319, although I should add that this branch is not intended for general use, since it's just meant for creating and testing both deb and rpm packages and setting up custom deb and rpm package repositories on bintray.com. See the PR for more infos...

If you want to build Streamlink Twitch GUI by yourself, you should build it off the master branch and follow the instructions of the wiki.

Btw, the branch still builds perfectly fine. What's causing your issue is the ancient npm version you're using.
And regarding the libudev.so.0 fix, you're seeing the commit log of be096c3 (HEAD of the packages branch), which just copies the libudev.so.0 fix from the regular start script to the postinst hooks of both packages (see here). This fix is needed because of NW.js on older Ubuntu versions. The newer NW.js builds (>=0.13.0) might not need this fix anymore, but I'm not sure about this and including it doesn't hurt.

Closing the thread now, since there hasn't been a response in a couple of days and the issue is caused by an old version of the used package manager (npm).
