Update package and distribute docs to be based off nwjs-builder rather than nw-builder.

[orther]

Considering nw-builder doesn't seem to support the versions after 0.12.3 of nw.js (I had tons of issues and ended up moving on to nwjs-builder) I believe nwjs-builder should replace nw-builder on the Package and Distribute doc page. I was considering forking this repo and updating the Package and Distribute page to link to and show nwjs-builder examples rather than nw-builder but before I spend time doing that I wanted to ask if that is something you would even appreciate/consider for pulling?

If people haven't looked at nwjs-builder for a robust easy way to build nwjs v0.13.x+ apps for the 3 major platforms (OSX, Windows, Linux) I highly recommend you take a look.

@orther thanks for the feedback. Sorry about this. We're working on it right now and we're very close. The creator of nwjs-builder is onboard. See #327 and #333. It just needs to be tested a bit more (I'll be doing some testing on Windows myself today). If you want to test that branch, you can via npm i --save nwjs/nw-builder#newer_versions.

So... soon nw-builder will be fine and then we'll move onto adding stuff like the ability to choose flavors and other stuff. So I think this can be closed. Thanks again.

Woops, I mean nwutils/nw-builder#327 and nwutils/nw-builder#333

[orther]

I'll likely get testing and involved in helping update nwjs/nw-builder once I get some more free time (i.e. after I'm done pushing my nwjs based app's major release and migration to nwjs v0.15.4) in a week or two.

Thanks for the feedback @adam-lynch

I don't see any one is picking up nwjs/nw-builder so far. So I'm re-opening this issue for the official documentation. CC @evshiron

@ghostoy please check whether the steps in the official documentation are good asap. If they are broken, the official documentation should be fixed immediately.

I have watched nwutils/nw-builder#327 but I am afraid I am not going to bother maintaining 2 similar projects, when to me nwjs-builder is more familiar and requires less efforts.
I am glad that nwjs-builder could be listed in the documentation as an option for building applications. It's not widely used though, but things should just work.
If there is anything I can help, let me know.

[rogerwang]

Thanks @evshiron I didn't notice the name difference.

We are thinking about the change for official doc but we'll for sure list your project since it's actively maintained.

those builders are greatly appreciated!

Currently both nw-builder and nwjs-builder are listed as recommended tools for packing NW.js based apps on official document site. Close this issue.
