[20.03] element-{web,desktop}: backport version bump & rename #93773
Conversation
Hmm right, |
Since Electron 9 is not in 20.03 but Electron 8 is, it might be worthwhile to use that, at least for the backport. |
It used to work with this version and `electron_9` isn't available on 20.03.
(cherry picked from commit 2d468be)
Latest push should fix eval, also using |
@NixOS/backports any objctions? |
No objections @Ma27 |

Haven't tested, but I believe this was okay.
Motivation for this change
Backports the rename of
riot-{web,desktop}
toelement
(#93134, #93303, #93308) that has happened during the update to1.7
. Also added some warnings to advertise the use ofpkgs.element*
and to mention removed feature-flags (where the features are now available by default inelement
).Rationale for backport: for the matrix subsystem on NixOS we've established a backport-by-default policy to remain up-to-date with the
matrix.org
infrastructure several months ago (previosuly we experienced compat-issues with their infrastructure occasionally). Several people (including me) from the Nix-matrix channel are already usingelement-web
at1.7
on NixOS systems (on both unstable and 20.03) without having any issues (while using and while migrating to it), so we currently consider this backport as doable.cc @NixOS/backports @claudiiii
