Description
Hi,
I am one of a few people who are interested in creating RPM packages
of Discord (https://discordapp.com). We are currently creating these
via rpmbuild and pushing them to a self-hosted Yum repository. Can I
get a Discord project created to house both discord and discord-canary
RPM builds?
Thank you,
Sean Callaway

As a sidenote - there are already discord packages in some home repos:
home:SocMinarch:discord discord
home:boombatower:branches:games:tools discord
home:boombatower:tumbleweed++ discord
home:dag_jnsson discord
home:korazin Discord
Maybe you can collaborate with those people to avoid re-inventing the wheel ;-)
That's possible, I suppose. We have a fair community of users between my package of the official release and Vishal Verma's packaging of the testing/canary build, so we're just looking to be able to script things from end-to-end. For Fedora users, at least, it seems that we've become the de facto place to go to until Discord packages their own. Which, based on my discussion with their Linux folk, isn't anytime soon.

is this really opensource or repackaging their binary stuff?
repackaging their binary stuff would probably need a non-oss exception.
No, I was (mistakenly) told that we could use this for proprietary builds and could not initially (within the first 30 minutes) find anything to refute that. After the request, however, I did. However the projects linked in note#1 do make that confusing.
We've moved the build process to a self-hosted OBS instance, so this request can be closed.
Thanks!
- Status changed from New to Closed
Well the policy for the OBS says opensource builds only. there are NON-OSS exceptions (Which feed into the non-oss project for the relevant opensuse distributions) but the default is OSS only.
Closing as requested.
