electron33 33.3.2 needs to be built with a specific chromium and npm release specified here: https://releases.electronjs.org/release/v33.3.2

I am currently building electron33 33.1.0 which is the first release including the patch, and the last electron33 series release that uses a non-extended stable verision of chromium. Extended stable versions of chromium don't have source tarballs available on the chromium-browser-official since they are primarily intended for commercial windows users.

Different distros handle that differently, looking at the void-packages history, we just don't update to those versions, Arch Linux uses git, Alpine and OpenSUSE generate electron tarballs with chromium sources included (since electron does not provide official tarballs since their build system assumes a git environment), and FreeBSD hosts the chromium tarballs as github releases but has it split into multiple files due to upload limits. (most distros handle it by not shipping electron :p)
