Override `name` from package.json

• Version: 22.3.3

• Target: Linux/deb

The app name and name of deb (and other Linux) artifacts use the name key from package.json. Is there a way to override the name? If not, consider adding an option for it. Suggesting adding a new field build.name which can default to name.

My use case is I work in a monorepo (using yarn workspaces). I currently use pkg/app/package.json and name: app for my Electron package. If I were to change to name: <app name> (1) it risks collisions with other packages (either third party or my other packages) and (2) it dictates my project directory structure (I need to change the name of the pkg/app directory).

I’m happy to contribute a PR if a maintainer pre-approves the change.

Can you use the extraMetadata property?

extraMetadata any - Inject properties to package.json
