Users of GitHub's Atom editor might be interested in adding my unofficial [atom] repository to their pacman.conf: https://github.com/tensor5/arch-atom https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Unofficial_user_repositories#atom It consists of three packages: atom, electron and apm. It's been available for several months now, it's used by many people, and I consider it stable. Packages follow Arch's guidelines and have no namcap errors. The main feature is that is entirely compiled from source, while the other atom packages in AUR, although they don't explicitly include the suffix "-bin", download a pre-compiled distribution of Electron, which is the heart of Atom. The other feature, which sets it apart from upstream and AUR, is that Atom is split from, and requires Electron. This allows to reuse Electron separately as foundation for other desktop applications. I would be happy if Atom gets promoted to [community] in the future, and if it does I volunteer for maintaining it. Enjoy.
