It's been a year already since the first submit. I almost forgot it existed! Thanks for your interest.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure. It seems to rely on `electron-builder`:

[electron-builder](https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder) seems to be:

> A complete solution to package and build a ready for distribution Electron app with “auto update” support out of the box

It can build for `AppImage, snap, debian package (deb), rpm, freebsd, pacman, p5p, apk`. These files mention "electron-builder":
```
./package.json
./CHANGELOG.md
./yarn.lock
./build/afterSignHook.js
./.travis.yml
./README.md
./flow-typed/npm/electron-webpack_vx.x.x.js
./flow-typed/npm/electron-builder_vx.x.x.js
```

Also, there is a `electron-builder.json` file on source tree. Maybe if we can remove electron-builder it will be possible to use system electron. But I'm not sure if the package will play nice with the system electron. I've also checked `atom` and `slack-desktop`. They don't use system electron either.
