Update Build System #132

Open srinjoym opened 5 years ago

srinjoym commented 5 years ago

Currently we're using electron-forge for packaging GitHub Classroom Assistant. This package depends on electron-prebuilt-compile which has become out of date and has security issues.

There are three possible solutions:

  1. Switch to a different packager like electron-build
  2. Wait for v6 of ElectronForge to be released which eliminates the dependency on electron-prebuilt-compile. Progress is being tracked in this issue.
  3. Create a custom packager so we're not dependent on other packages

I would be happy to help you migrate to Forge v6! FWIW, creating a custom packager is probably not in your best interests, from a technical debt POV.
