@feld Got a question: The net-im/deltachat-desktop Makefile: Shouldn't it have "electron:43" in USES?

According to https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-desktop/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md:

- Upgrade Electron to 43.8

@pertho I work with upstream, they target electron 43 on the other platforms but confirmed it's ok to use 42 on FreeBSD. We have to use 42 or no packages will get built on the official FreeBSD package repo due to this

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=270565

Also next release they're targeting electron 44 and I'll have to patch to revert at least one commit to retain compatibility

270565 – electron* ports are blacklisted from the build

@feld This is my third time trying to compile devel/electron42.

Had to turn off make jobs. Hope it doesn't run out of memory again.

@pertho it makes me want to cry. I also am trying to update www/linkwarden which means I have to compile chromium too

so now I maintain ports that need electron, chromium, and rust. Which means a simple "oh I'll just update that port" can turn into a multi day affair
