Atom (tmiland-lab revival)

Active fork of atom/atom v1.63.1, keeping a usable Atom alive on modern Electron — pure lineage (this tree + our patches, stock Electron runtime). Upstream archived Atom in Dec 2022; this fork builds, releases, and climbs Electron rung-by-rung.

Progress is tracked in #1 (one comment per rung with release + CI links).

Status

Latest: v1.63.1-e36.1 — Atom 1.63.1 / Electron 36.9.5 / Chromium 136 / Node 22.19.0 (release).

Base	Rungs shipped	Notes
v1.63.1-debian13.1	Electron 11 baseline	Builds on modern Debian, CI .deb
e13.1 → e36.1	Electron 13 → 36	Every rung CI-built; backports kept green

Notable walls solved: context-aware natives (E14), V8 API removals (E20), universal fork discipline (apm installs branch HEADs, not lockfile SHAs), GTK4 probe clash (E36, forced gtk-version 3).

Known issues (tolerated, app fully usable): tree-sitter null-node TypeErrors on some JS opens; github package worker file missing from packaged app. Both slated for dedicated follow-up.

Installing

Grab the build for your Electron rung from releases (latest = newest Electron):

Linux: atom-amd64.deb (Debian/Ubuntu) or atom.x86_64.rpm (Fedora/RHEL-likes).
macOS: atom-mac.zip (unsigned — right-click → Open on first launch). In progress.
Windows: Squirrel installer (Setup.exe, unsigned). In progress.

Packages

No registry — install straight from GitHub: apm install owner/repo. Pure-JS packages work out of the box; native packages build against Electron headers via the patched apm (see build doc).

AI coding support: tmiland-lab/atom-ai (apm install tmiland-lab/atom-ai) — CLI-agent bridge (opencode/aider/claude/custom), no API keys.

Building

Debian 13 recipe (local + CI): docs/building-debian13.md. Short version: Node 12.22.12 + Python 3.11, script/bootstrap, script/build --create-debian-package --create-rpm-package. CI (.github/workflows/build-deb.yml) does the same on every v* tag plus mac/Windows jobs.
