Deb package builds were removed at some point. This restores them with auto-update support via electron-updater's existing GitHub provider integration.

Changes

  • electron-builder.yml / electron-builder-beta.yml: Added deb to Linux targets
  • package.json: Added author email (required field for deb maintainer)

Auto-update

No additional configuration needed. electron-builder automatically includes app-update.yml in the deb package resources, and the existing AppUpdater class in src/main/index.ts handles updates from GitHub releases.

Verified output

dist/Feishin-linux-amd64.deb     (109 MB)
dist/Feishin-linux-x86_64.AppImage
dist/Feishin-linux-x64.tar.xz
Original prompt

it seems building this electron project as deb was removed long ago. can you bring it back?
Make sure auto update works
