[Slackbuilds-users] Atom 1.23.3 fails to build

[Daniel Prosser]

Hi,

I am unable to build Atom 1.23.3 on Slackware64 14.2. While it is
generating API docs, memory usage goes out of control until the build is
aborted. Apparently I am not alone, based on this thread:

https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/atom-installation-fatal-error-call_and_retry_last-allocation-failed-javascript-heap-out-of-memory-4175628885/

I found an issue on Github related to this problem, which was resolved
after the 1.23.3 release:

https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/16777

Based on that information, I tried building 1.27.2 instead, and it
worked without issue; all I did was change the version number. So can we
get atom updated to that version? A patch is attached, though it is
quite trivial. I did make one small change to the .desktop file,
however.

Regards,
Dan
