Description Evgeny Stambulchik 2019-07-28 07:32:56 UTC 
I wonder why there is no proper ebuild (from the sources) of signal-desktop.
Comment 1 Michael Palimaka (kensington) gentoo-dev 2019-08-04 04:29:20 UTC 
It's nodejs-based, I think? Support for that isn't great in Gentoo right now.
Comment 2 Maciej S. Szmigiero 2021-02-20 21:58:46 UTC 
Signal is an Electron application.

It might be possible to avoid recent net-im/signal-desktop-bin issues if its Electron runtime was build against the host system rather than running an upstream binary.
Comment 3 David Seifert gentoo-dev 2023-09-14 20:24:09 UTC 
Unless you provide an ebuild, this won't happen.
