`@types/webworker` is not being published to npm

[StenAL]

I'd like to override the webworker lib in my project's TypeScript installation. With other libraries, e.g. dom, this is possible because the dom.generated.d.ts file is being published to npm as @types/web.

However, I can't see webworker.generated.d.ts being published to any npm packages. In the deploy folder there is some infrastrucutre for publishing it as @types/webworker (e.g. this README), but https://www.npmjs.com/package/@types/webworker doesn't exist and returns a 404.

All the other packages published from this repo are in the packages array in deploy/createTypesPackages.

it gets shipped with typescript, but you can use https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/release-notes/typescript-4-5.html#supporting-lib-from-node_modules to set it yourself

Yeah, but there's no npm package for overriding the WebWorker lib.

For the DOM lib, there's @types/web. For service workers, there's @types/serviceworker. For shared workers, there's @types/sharedworker. For audio worklets, there's @types/audioworklet. For dedicated workers, there's no package because @types/webworker is not being published.

Ish, you'd need to ship your own - you could use a locally resolved folder for example

I'd recommend re-reading how that TypeScript feature works

I see, though that's a lot more friction than writing npm i --save-dev @typescreipt/lib-webworker:@types/webworker. I'd have to basically make a tiny local package containing just webworker.generated.d.ts and update it manually by copying over changes from this repo whenever the types change.

Is there a reason these types aren't published? It seems like they're meant to be published considering there's even a README for the package.
