What about documenting the nolocal option together with these changes?

I had completely forgotten about that. It seems to have originated from prebuild. @mathiask88 Do you remember the story behind it?

[ralphtheninja]

Aaah here we go. prebuild/prebuild@72a161a

[ralphtheninja]

I think it was incorrectly documented here prebuild/prebuild@ce6358c#diff-04c6e90faac2675aa89e2176d2eec7d8R190 .. since .nolocal == true would still check cached prebuilds, but not locally cached prebuilds.

I'm wondering why it was added in the first place.

@mathiask88 I'm thinking we could remove nolocal since no one seems to use it anyway. We would have to release a new major again though.

[mathiask88]

Yes you are right. Does the local cache check makes any sense for prebuild-install? Maybe we can remove that and move the nolocal?

Edit: Or remove both :D

@brett19 Mind helping us shed some light into this? 😄

I'm thinking the same, that it might not make sense anymore.

@mathiask88 I think I'll update the nolocal stuff in a separate PR.
