Less code for us to maintain. This also gives us free internationalization in a future Electron version (they'll set the label dynamically based on the 'role') One slight regression with this change, but it will be fixed in a future Electron once this PR is merged: https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/6600

Package app
Builds app binaries for OS X, Linux, and Windows.
$ npm run package
To build for one platform:
$ npm run package -- [platform]
Where [platform] is darwin, linux, win32, or all (default).
The following optional arguments are available:
--sign- Sign the application (OS X, Windows)--package=[type]- Package single output type.deb- Debian packagezip- Linux zip filedmg- OS X disk imageexe- Windows installerportable- Windows portable appall- All platforms (default)
Note: Even with the --package option, the auto-update files (.nupkg for Windows, *-darwin.zip for OS X) will always be produced.
Windows build notes
To package the Windows app from non-Windows platforms, Wine needs to be installed.
On OS X, first install XQuartz, then run:
brew install wine
(Requires the Homebrew package manager.)
Privacy
WebTorrent Desktop collects some basic usage stats to help us make the app better. For example, we track how well the play button works. How often does it succeed? Time out? Show a missing codec error?
The app never sends personally identifying information, nor does it track which swarms you join.
