RPM Package for Discord

I love Discord. But sadly, the devs don't provide any RPM package... Therefore I've made one!
To be precise, I've made a script that downloads the latest discord's canary linux build and creates a RPM package with it.

How to use

Run the create-package.sh script from the command line. It will download the latest version of discord and build an RPM package. Then, install the package with sudo dnf install <rpm file>.

Requirements

You need to install the rpmdevtools package to build RPM packages and use the script. Don't worry: the script detects if it isn't installed, and can install it for you.

About root privileges

Building an RPM package with root privileges is dangerous, because a mistake in SPEC file could result in running nasty commands. See http://serverfault.com/questions/10027/why-is-it-bad-to-build-rpms-as-root.

Update discord

When a new version of discord is released, you can run the create-package.sh script again to create an updated package. Then, simply install the updated package with sudo dnf install <rpm file>.

Supported distributions

  • Fedora 24
  • Fedora 25

It probably work on other RPM-based distros but I haven't tested it. Let me know if it works for you!
