It would be great to have an ebuild for net-im/signal-desktop, which was just announced [1]. DESCRIPTION="Signal Private Messenger for the Desktop" HOMEPAGE="https://signal.org/" The app is built with dev-util/electron, which hopefully allows to create a from-source ebuild, instead of using the binary packages from their download page [2]. [1]: https://signal.org/blog/standalone-signal-desktop/ [2]: https://signal.org/download/
I wrote an ebuild. However, it's using the official .deb file, so not building from source. https://github.com/robert7k/gentoo-overlay/blob/master/net-im/signal-desktop-bin/signal-desktop-bin-1.0.35.ebuild
I wrote ebuild which makes it from the source. It uses yarn (recommended npm replacement) to fetch NPM packages and internal Gruntfile.js to compile. https://github.com/k3a/gentoo-overlay/tree/master/net-im/signal-desktop * 9999 version uses latest development git repo without modification. * Numbered version changes build process minimally to get the modification time of package.json in order to set up expiration timer. Normally expiration timer is based on latest git commit time but tar.gz releases are not git repo so I use package.json mod. time instead. Enjoy!
Would one of you guys be interested in proxy-maintaining it? https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Proxy_Maintainers

Your ebuild requires network access, isn't there a way to pull all the dependencies in SRC_URI? The binary ebuild seems to work fine.

I would suggest to mimic the app-editors/atom ebuild, which is also based on dev-util/electron. That's how I would approach this, would I have the time.

I read that page and some other pages linked there, but I'm not sure how to get started with being a proxied maintainer.

You can join #gentoo-proxy-maint on irc.freenode.net and you'll get help there :) It's often done through pull requests on github.

I dont think this bug should be closed with only a binary ebuild in the tree, this ebuild is security related so source build should be available or even mandatory.
