Event TimelineComment Actions No...if there is an issue we should be working with the Atom developers on addressing it, not just switching to their tarballs. That isn't an acceptable solution. Comment Actions The problem is that atom developers don’t want to help custom built atom versions at all. There are also a lot of little stuff that I just can’t get working with building it because I have no idea at all on how to fix them (take file indexing and search in project as an example and builds why fail for no apparent reason). This solution fixes all issues and makes maintaining atom much less a pain in the ****. I have switched to vscode (due to totally different reasons) and saw this as a good way to keep maintaining atom. If this isn’t accepted, I will stop maintaining the package because I simply don’t have the time to deal with annoying electron apps that seem to not be meant to be packaged. I am sorry that it had to be this way, but with me switching editor and studies picking up from next year and forward, I simply see lesser reason to maintain this with all the quirks that it has. In my eyes, this is the best solution available... Comment Actions Is the answer still no for this one or have you changed your mind? @JoshStrobl Comment Actions Honestly at this point, I've stopped caring about it too. If the atom folks aren't even willing to assist with third-party builds of their own software, they're helpless and quite frankly the only way we could wipe our hands more clean of this package is to nuke it from the repo, which isn't something that's on the table. So yea, let's just move to their own binary. If people have problems with it, the only people to blame are Atom devs.
