Atom is a Chrome-based text editor, hackable and full-featured.

Atom comes loaded with the features you've come to expect from
a modern text editor, like a file system browser, fuzzy finder for
quickly opening files, fast project-wide search and replace,
snippets, code folding and more.

The apm tool is renamed to atom-apm for prevent conflicts with
apmd package.

To build Atom is necessary to download about 500MB of data,
which are temporarily stored in ~/.atom, which can be
deleted after building.

By default, you should use Node.js to build Atom, but
you can build it with io.js, that provides some
performance improvements. Both, node and iojs, are available
from SlackBuilds.org.

Optional building features:
* Disable compiling metrics module for Google Analytics
  for poeple who love your privacy
  https://github.com/atom/metrics
    DISABLE_METRICS=yes|no (default: no)
* Delete temporary data cached after building package
    DELETE_CACHE=yes|no (default: no)
