Possible to ignore optionalDependencies?

npm:cbor-x has cbor-extract as an optional dependency, is it possible to install this package in Deno, without it trying to pull cbor-extract? I do not need it, and i causes warnings and errors.

Purging Kv keys

I have a logger which write logs to a kv store with dual keys, something like

kv.set(["logs_by_time", Date.now()], logObject)
kv.set(["logs_by_process", "current-process-id", Date.now()],logObject)

kv.set(["logs_by_time", Date.now()], logObject)
kv.set(["logs_by_process", "current-process-id", Date.now()],logObject)

So far all is well.. But a problem pups up when i want to purge all logs before a specific start time, i could loop through all processes, deleting using this selector:

{
  prefix: ["logs_by_process", currentProcessId],
  end: ["logs_by_process", currentProcessId, startTime],
}

{
  prefix: ["logs_by_process", currentProcessId],
  end: ["logs_by_process", currentProcessId, startTime],
}

But as end-users can add/delete processes over time, i cannot be sure i known which processes exist in history, so i would need to use a wildcard, like:

{
  prefix: ["logs_by_process", "*"],
  end: ["logs_by_process", "*", startTime],
}

{
  prefix: ["logs_by_process", "*"],
  end: ["logs_by_process", "*", startTime],
}

Any idéas on how to make this happen efficiently, without looping over all possible keys? Actual, non-functioning code: https://github.com/Hexagon/pup/blob/afd8d3f3b292c8e317d21dea9c7d0509f1e40d59/lib/core/logger.ts#L236

IPC solution for a process manager

👋 I'm at day 7 of working on Pup (https://github.com/hexagon/pup) - a universal process manager run by Deno. Next step towards 1.0.0 is to allow one instance of pup to restart a process of another instance. Something like pup - Boots up the process ecosystem defined in pup.json of the current directory then pup --restart --id task-1 - Restart process named task-1 in the main process, print results, and exit. What are the options on this in Deno, while keeping everything nice and secure. Is there a stable IPC solution ready for Deno yet? Security considerations? The first that comes to mind is to use unix sockets, with maybe a common secret key defined in pup.json, that way, even if a evil process have access to the unix socket, it won't be able to command processes without the secret key. This would make the actual file permissions (read) to pup.json control who can control the process manager. Of cours normal unix socket permissions would be handled in some way. Good or bad? Cross platform considerations? Is the secret totally useless?

Two questions on documentation

RTFM in 3... 2... 🙂 Question 1: How do i hide documentation for specific exports, i do not want to document exports of dependencies, like https://deno.land/x/entsoe_api_client@0.5.1/deps.ts . I tried /** @ignore */ to no avail Question 2: Is it possible to get some sort of generic description for a file, like: https://deno.land/x/entsoe_api_client@0.5.1/mod.ts , similar to the docs that appear if i click on a function, like https://deno.land/x/entsoe_api_client@0.5.1/mod.ts?s=Query
