Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist

Version : 4.1.0

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.
