I think this is probably one of those things that would be worth
forming a SIG on. An Electron SIG could help with Electron and all
Electron-based applications that come into Fedora.
I built and use element-desktop (
https://github.com/vector-im/element-desktop#readme ) on my desktop , I
spent 2 or 3 days on hacking the build , at the end I build an rpm with
electon-builder ... conclusion we may need also pack electon-builder.
I think we can join these talks on Node.js SIG (Node.js on Fedora
<nodejs(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> ).
I'd like pack at least nativefier, element-desktop, jitsi-meet-
electron, but I'm skeptical that it works with ffpmeg-free ...
Learn and use nodejs-packaging-bundler, maybe is one solution which was
talked on Node.js SIG
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/nodejs@lists.fedoraproject....
BTW UnitedRPMs also have a electron package
https://github.com/UnitedRPMs/electron , it may help, I don't know,
and jitsi-meet-electron
https://github.com/UnitedRPMs/jitsi-meet-electron which need network
enabled to download sources while is building the package ...
Best regards,
