Atom's relocation to the [community] repository #35

Closed fusion809 closed 8 years ago

fusion809 commented 8 years ago

Hi,

I noticed in your last commit (88ca674) that you mentioned this Atom package moving into the [community] repo and I must say it's about time! :+1: The atom-editor package has been the most voted package in the AUR for so long that I'm surprised it hasn't already been added to the [community] repository. Although I'd like to suggest that the Atom package added to the [community] repo be as similar to the official Atom build as possible while still using the latest APM and Electron versions. Where APM is also provided by the atom package (i.e., there shouldn't be a separate apm package as APM has no value outside of being used with and alongside Atom, unlike Electron which can be used as a standalone app). I'd also recommend the ASAR packaging mentioned in #30 be added.

I thought I'd open this issue in order to start a discussion about any changes to be made to the packages in this repo before it is added to the [community] repository.

Thanks for your time, Brenton

@fusion809 you might want to read the discussion in #24 about apm being a separate package: @City-busz made a point there that apm could be used as a build tool for other Electron based packages. We will see how that works in real world.

Regarding asar packaging, I will implement it once things settle down a little; it's still convenient for me sometimes to be able to quickly look at Atom modules code and make modifications.
