Oh awesome there finally is a electron37 package, thanks for letting me know! I'll update it

The reason I was using electron37-bin was because at the time there was no electron37 package

Why electron37-bin and not electron37 ?

Yes for now as I am transitioning from using electron from npm in libelectron to using the repo package of electron. Please read my news post for more information :)

OK. But libelectron install double electron binary since it also requires *-castlab-bin.

Hey this is a separate meta package is specifically for my AUR packages to manage the electron versioning for all my software that uses electron and libelectron. The reason I made this was so I had better control over the electron version in case anything goes wrong. I wanted to separate electron and the package dependencies from each other so I can update the electron dependencies, libelectron dependencies and have electron and electron-castlab as it's own seperate packages

electron meta symlink package exists. But is it impossible to merge this to libelectron?
