  Hi,

  I am one of the maintainers for devel:languages:nodejs in openSUSE.

  Since you're planning to invent a way to package electron apps in openSUSE. I think you would like to know the current status of electron itself on OBS:

  There's currently no native build of electron in any distro. I am the first person trying to do this.

  I have finished "libchromiumcontent" package, which is solid and specfile taken away by many other distros.

  But I didn't finish electron yet. Its build script written in Python and focus on building electron on your own machine instead of a standard virtual build machine (it uses 'git' at build time). So we need to patch it and split dependencies.

  It looks easy but I have another much more important project to develop, that is the packaging tool for nodejs modules in openSUSE. It is the fundamental thing of nodejs packaging in openSUSE. see: https://hackweek.suse.com/15/projects/1880

  Any help appreciated on building electron natively.

  BTW: you can use the prebuild electron to avoid this kind of trouble if you have no interest in packaging electron itself.
