HipChat is a chat system generally used by businesses for internal chat. They have a Linux client: https://www.hipchat.com/downloads#linux Just un-tarring their tarball and running the provided ./HipChat/bin/hipchat command works fine.
I second this. I have been using HipChat, the Linux app is quite good, and super easy to install. Just untar their dist file, most of which goes into /opt. The tmacedo overlay has an ebuild. But it needs to be updated to the new version that Hipchat released a few weeks ago. A current gentoo ebuild would be much better.
Created attachment 375126 [details] hipchat ebuild Here is an ebuild for hipchat that I use at home.
The tmacedo overlay currently contains the latest version and works as expected.
There is a new version available: HipChat 4. Just renaming the ebuild from tmacedo overlay does not work as the URL has changed. Also, it is only available for amd64 anymore. I added an updated ebuild to my overlay: https://github.com/MathyV/gentoo-overlay-mathy

There is a new version 4.0.1633, the ebuild still works, is also in my overlay.
New version 4.0.1635, ebuild still works.
There's a new version, but the version numbering changed. Renaming my ebuild to hipchat-4.27.0.1658.ebuild should work. It is also in my overlay.
I'm closing this as hipchat no longer exists
