upgrading to 0.8 makes previously published packages invisible

[jedi4ever]

• I've upgraded sinopia from 0.7.1 -> 0.8
• the cache of previous packages was not visible with a npm view <package>.
• it would to just do the http gets and then display nothing
• Only newly npm installed versions show up.
• reverting to 0.7.1 made them visibile again

Will further investigate

Confirmed, it happens when latest tag is not present. Will be fixed soon, looks like npm registry is always setting it up, so it makes sense to mimic that behaviour.

If you want to test it further, you can set ignore_latest_tag: true in your sinopia config (it's default 0.7.1 behaviour, but was changed in 0.8.0 because of 4 separate issues).

Curious thing is that npm can install things without latest tag, but can't view them.

@jedi4ever, please check out 0.8.1. Now latest tag is always present in the output, so npm should display it correctly.
