>=20

It=E2=80=99s not finished yet. This is as far as I have gotten:

https://github.com/pusateri/ports/tree/master/www/libchromiumcontent

I got discouraged by how un-portable the Atom code is and how they have =
hardcoded binary downloads upon downloads of node, iojs, etc. and the =
sheer number of components that need ported that all use their own =
copies of downloaded binaries. It=E2=80=99s spaghetti.

They had #!/bin/bash hardcoded everywhere. A few of us submitted pull =
requests to get them changed to #!/bin/env bash and got some of them =
removed but then some bug reports surfaced for problems on MacOSX and =
they undid at least one of them.

The Atom guys were really nice and helpful but they aren=E2=80=99t =
focused on portability and so it=E2=80=99s a tough road.

There=E2=80=99s about 50 components and so it can be done but it=E2=80=99s=
 going to take perseverance.
