npm is missing built files about mattermost-redux

[amyblais]

@metanerd Should I open a ticket to investigate?

I suggest switching to a newer release version due to npm tags disallowing publishing a lower release version.

That can't be true. You may not be able to republish a version (I'm not sure) but projects maintain multiple major releases all the time, updating 1.1.0 to 1.1.1 and at the same time having published 2.0.0 and 3.1.0 for example.

You may not think it's worth publishing 5.29.3 to fix the broken 5.29.2 and that's fine, but that npm tags won't allow it is not a good reason.

I personally just reverted to 5.29.1, however having a broken publicly published package seemed worth reporting (and I'd think it was worth fixing, but that's just me).

Yes, you are absolutely correct in reporting it. Thank you for that! I ran into some issues before with the way we publish the package. I will however look into it again.
I checked the code and the changes from 5.29.1 to 5.29.2 are regarding the migration for the build process, which caused the bug you reported:
https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost-redux/compare/v5.29.1...v5.29.2?expand=1
This means using the 5.29.1 version is perfectly fine.
You are completely correct that the latest version of 5.29 should not be broken and it currently is.

Thanks @metanerd for your response and letting me know what the cause was, I really appreciate it.
