/root/index.js:27 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'prototype' of undefined

I am using polo and that is using root and it seems root uses process.EventEmitter from nodejs that is not existing in the current version of nodejs. I want to use polo in electron version 1.6.2.

The issue https://github.com/3rd-Eden/FlashPolicyFileServer/issues/9 describes how to replace it.

I added a pull request for a fix https://github.com/mafintosh/root/pull/17

Start at root/index.js:27 and follow the require path through polo/repository.js. Reproduce the failure with Electron 1.6.2, compare the relevant compatibility guidance in the linked FlashPolicyFileServer issue and the existing pull request, and verify that requiring polo no longer raises the reported TypeError.
