Bug#926677: RFP: node-evacuated-electron-download -- downloads an electron release zip



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

* Package name    : node-evacuated-electron-download
  Version         : 4.1.0
  Upstream Author : max ogden
* URL             : https://salsa.debian.org/themusicgod1-guest/evacuated-electron-download
* License         : BSD-3-Clause
  Programming Lang: javascript
  Description     : downloads an electron release zip

This is listed as a prerequisite of electron ( #842420 ) by the
electron task list 
https://wiki.debian.org/Javascript/Nodejs/Tasks/electron

It downloads electron itself, currently from NSA/Microsoft (changing it
to grab from a non-NSA/Microsoft source is an open issue - 
https://salsa.debian.org/themusicgod1-guest/evacuated-electron-download/issues/1 
)

If it's at all possible to use electron *without* this particular package,
to pull the sources out by using it once and packaging *them*, we should do so.  
This rfp is just following the dependencies outlined by the electron task
and will be removed if it's at all possible to package electron without it.
