Chocolatey lags upgrade notice

[mark-hahn]

Atom is saying to upgrade to 141 but it isn't in chocolatey yet.

Yeah, I guess it is still awaiting moderation, which appears to be a thing chocolatey does now.

@ferventcoder any ETA on this?

Just got approved, https://chocolatey.org/packages/Atom

Yesterday I couldn't wait because I really needed the --dev mode fix to
continue working. I tried using the big green button on the atom.io home
page to get the raw Atom folder. I then replaced the Chocolatey folder
with that and to my surprise everything worked.

This begs the question. Why do we need chocolatey? Couldn't a simple
script be added and run after the folder is copied? I'm not an expert on
windows installation and this idea may be bogus.

Yeah, long term, Atom will have a Setup.exe that will install the app, shortcuts, start menu items, etc.

Just waiting on the Squirrel Windows support to be finalized.
