Can I contribute to the repository with a couple of electron prebuilds I created?

Could I contribute some electron prebuilds for version 4.9? I generated prebuilds for electron versions 8,9, and 10. I was unsuccessful with generating a prebuild for 11 though for some reason.

Attached below are the prebuilds:

gl-v4.9.0-electron-v76-darwin-x64.tar.gz
gl-v4.9.0-electron-v80-darwin-x64.tar.gz
gl-v4.9.0-electron-v82-darwin-x64.tar.gz

Hi! Sorry I didn't see this sooner.

We used to have prebuilds for electron a while back, but through an unrelated change, lost them for newer releases.

Thanks for generating these prebuilds and offering to include them in the repo. Unfortunately, as a matter of protocol, for safety's sake, I can't accept these binaries as I can't verify them.

I can look into re-enabling them on the CI builds for the next release(s).

Out of curiosity, how do you use headless-go with electron?

Sounds good, thank you!

I'm using headless-gl for server side rendering. It's currently bundled with my Electron app during development out of convenience, but it will eventually be ran on a remote server.

The problem I was having, to those reading this, is my build system (CircleCI) would need to rebuild headless-gl each time it detected a change, since there are no prebuilds for Electron in headless-gl.

To fix this issue, I created a simple script that runs my rendering service separate from Electron rather than having Electron fork it as a child process. By keeping them separate from each other, headless-gl can use a prebuild compatible with my current node version (12).
