Hi! I noted that past week, Telegram Desktop was updated. Also, for the source-based version, noted that there's an new dependency called libwebrtc, and it's needed for 2.3.x since it comes with video calls. Also, the bin-based is not updated since some time ago (last version available in Portage Tree is 2.1.3). Thanks in advance. Reproducible: Always

webrtc is a horrible nightmare to package as it bundles a lot of libraries and harcodes a lot of things. it needs a good whack to untangle everything. telegram can't be built without webrtc yet. https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop/issues/8483 bump will only happen if: 1) https://github.com/desktop-app/tg_owt is packaged (properly) 2) upstream will fix build without webrtc, so we can bump it and continue working on webrtc separately. only new functionality is webrtc/video calls.

Anyways, thanks!

Yes, that's why I though. Some days ago tried to package webrtc and it fails. I can't understand how did Arch Linux developers did it.
Arch packages allow network access...(and it’s bad) So then they build webrtc without using system libs.it uses gclient (Google repo wrapper) to download all sources and statically bundle everything inside.

*** Bug 751085 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
situation changed a bit since, there' s no more network access required, but everything is still pretty nasty. tg_owt wants pulseaudio unconditionally, tgvoip needs tg_owt, and telegram needs both. also it bundles vpx, openh264, nasm and other libs. there's some slow work happening, and it's possible to build if one bundles tg_owt + tgvoip + telegram in single package, but it will require pulse (to build, not to run), bundle a lot of libs without using system copies.

this is all I can do for now. unbundling and removing webrtc and pulse requirement is a lot of work, send patches upstream. there's some work started but stalled https://github.com/desktop-app/tg_owt/pull/16
FYI, removed hard pulse requirement. should build/work with apulse.
