Description Michael 'veremitz' Everitt 2020-10-02 13:38:39 UTC

It looks like there are several 'versions' (alpha/beta) of Discord users can run, so I'm not quite sure which way to go with this, but either new packages for Discord-Canary build and/or Discord-PTB build .. or we can probably create USE flags for each under discord-bin, and have use-conditional logic on the right SRC-URI to fetch the relevant one?

I'm guessing any ebuild/Gentoo-specific code is likely to be the same for each build, so a single ebuild might be one of the better solutions here (unless versions are out-of-sync).

My reason for asking/suggesting is apparently Canary is featuring a working version of spell-checking, so hopefully if we can bolster the number of Linux users supporting/testing this feature, it might land in Stable Soon™! :D

Thanks, and if any testing/help needed, fire me a message somewhere!

Example ebuild that seems to work OK locally, but please verify for correct QA standards (eg. wrt PAX warning)
