requirement to port this to archlinux #5

Closed squalou closed 6 years ago

squalou commented 6 years ago

Hi,

I ould be interested in porting this to archlinux. At first sight it's an 'electon' app.

What do you think would be required to have this work on a not-debian based distro ? (Worded differently : what (to your knowledge) is thightly related to debian-based distro.)

thanks for any advice !

Hi,

It's an electron app, yes. The only thing needed would be to find an npm module that packages electron apps into rpm and test it. I don't myself use anything else than debian so I couldn't really test anything like that.

But if you'd like to contribute it would be more than welcome!

Good news : I do have a PKGBUILD file that does the job. It' a bit ugly because I don't know npm enough : I manually strip unneeded dependencies. (those broght by te fact that electron itself is declared as a required dependency).

I'll push that to a git repo quickly so that you can have a look
