Corepack + non-npm package manager compatibility

[nathanhammond]

Hey y'all! Because of the way the install script is configured for better-sqlite3 it doesn't always play nicely with corepack when a consumer is using a non-npm package manager.

Corepack inspects the package.json of an end-user's project, and, if packageManager is set, restricts invocation of other package managers. This works in most cases but fails when a package that project wants to install has a lifecycle script that hard-codes a package manager. In this case, npm run build-release.

There are multiple workarounds to this problem but they all have tradeoffs.

I'm hoping you'd be willing to consider making a change that adjusts the install script in your package.json. There are a number of options:

• "install": "prebuild-install || node-gyp rebuild --release"
• "install": "prebuild-install || npm run build-release || yarn run build-release || pnpm run build-release"
• "install": "prebuild-install || COREPACK_ENABLE_STRICT=0 npm run build-release"

What do you think?
