RPM Package for discord
50a7345ac8
Unlike [gitkraken](https://github.com/RPM-Outpost/gitkraken), the Mageia support isn't included for now, because the Mageia repositories doesn't provide libcxx, which is required by Discord. Maybe I'll find a solution later... |

More informations
Warning - no accents
The path where you run the script must not contain any special character like é, ü, etc. This is a limitation of the rpm tools.
How to update
When a new version of discord is released, simply run the script again to get the updated version.
Requirements
The rpmdevtools package is required to build RPM packages. The script detects if it isn't installed and offers to install it.
About root privileges
Building an RPM package with root privileges is dangerous, see http://serverfault.com/questions/10027/why-is-it-bad-to-build-rpms-as-root.
