net-im/wire-desktop-bin-3.0.2816.ebuild

This ebuild installs the the binary version of wire-desktop from a debian package.

wire-desktop might be an alternative for skype users. 

I've tried to follow the instruction for the source verion from git:
https://github.com/wireapp/wire-desktop
That version runs clearly in a developer/debug mode, clutters the homedir, there is no ".desktop" file and I have no Idea how to put that into an ebuild.
For now the binary version is the better choise for users. To get it build from source, we would have to reproduce the way the deb file was build. Even in that case it might be woth to keep a binary version as the electron is not very lightweight to build.

New version (filename structure has changed)
Comment 3 Dennis Nezic 2021-03-10 16:07:28 UTC
Why the binary version? Is it hard to build?

new ebuild with EAPI=7 and some other fixes.

It is "easy" to build the client according to the github page: just run 'yarn build:linux'. As far as I know there is no sane way to handle yarn in portage, so unfortunately we will have to do with the binary package.
