DiscordApp recently announced the release of their linux client. https://twitter.com/discordapp?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor

Are there any plans to put this into the Gentoo repository, or is there an overlay that has it?

I use http://gpo.zugaina.org/ to check for something being in some overlay or not ;)
I used just a pure unpack of the canary version to be lazy, haven't used in a month, so haven't investigated lately.
Didn't think of proper packaging because I saw it downloading and upgrading modules on startup, while seemingly having a bundled initial version installed at first too, so I'd want to go all perfectionist on it and try to at least remove the bundled stuff if it can fetch an up to date anyways, or disable that behaviour and do that separately (but probably too unmanageable).

Looks like it's functionally identical to the browser version — except for the systray icon, keybindings, the “feature” to spy on your running programs and social media credentials... and using an extra half a gigabyte of RAM for no reason. I think I can live without those.

I had to get it to use push2talk while in-game without the browser focused.

almost.
The android app and web interface gets you chat & if thats all you need great. THe ingame overlay is very useful (if you game) and process showing is just a nicety if you dont view it as too intrusive. I help out in HoN and it was a ballache to get them off of Skype (that doesnt work in gentoo atm )

WHat do you expect from a windows software

All binaries, no thanks. Hardly works
skype (quite literally, as microsoft bought that "mega, awesome, fantastic, best working linux (sarcasm), software"
teamspeak (Broken by design, works or works not, more a guessing game when it works ..., tried it sevearl times over the years)
now guys tell me to use discord (a few weeks ago i checked their homepage, we plan to make a linux client ... plan to ..)

mumble is ignored, the better alternative

their homepage is wrong...
A linux client (alpha) has been available for almost a year)
a final was released it about a month ago

And now it's in the main tree. With a hard cups dependency, because everyone knows printing is the most important part of a voice chat app!

Many thanks for adding it to the main tree! And thank you, Saboya, for the ebuild/overlay before it was added! :-)

Between this (popular with CS GO players) and Skype (used for work), proprietary software consumes my soul and taints my SSD :-(

The Skype users are probably a lost cause, but perhaps you could convince the gamers to use Mumble instead.

I wish that'd be an easy sell on mumble, but it misses a lot of features found in the likes of teamspeak and discord. Fortunately I've been able to mostly make due with mumble too, thanks to good enough microphones of others with similar volume levels (no possibility to adjust volume of others individually) and pulseaudio backed echo cancellation. For gaming at least skype is more or less completely out of the question though - no push2talk and actually rather awful echo cancellation at least for me (but I use a networked microphone from another computer than gaming computer).

Mumble seems capable enough, if you ignore the fact its game integration and overlay HUD only works on windows... maybe I'd be using it right now if not for the fact it doesn't compile with USE=libressl any more.

honestly I have been trying for quite some time. If you split my gaming friends into linux and windows, the linux lot all use mumble (it is very capable). The windows lot are either teamspeak or Skype...

The think about teamspeak is most CSGO servers include a TS server so that lot then go "why use anything else". The skype lot come from always having a TS "provided" and then needed something and well ... Skype was with windows. ..

Discord blows Skype out of the water so that solves that issues. TS is becoming less and less of a concern.


The average windows user doesn't know what is needed to get a VOIP setup running so just wants it working while linux users will generally host their own in some form or another

I hosted my own mumble server for a very long time. Windows users would always get frustrated w/ the initial setup but I always took the extra needed amount of time to get them properly setup.

After discovering discord, I retired the ol' mumble server.

Regarding installation, I just unpacked it into /opt/ and placed a symlink in /usr/share/applications/ to the .desktop file provided in the canary archive. I'm glad to know some people are already making overlays for it now.

I tried discord-bin 0.0.1 a couple months ago and kept getting instant segfaults, so I decided to look at the canary builds. Was getting a grey screen on startup, but after a month of screwing around, it turns out there was a missing dependency. Here's a (hopefully) working ebuild for canary 0.0.19... License might be a little flaky.

The discord ebuild has been broken for a couple months, looks like it was updated a few days ago to the new 0.0.2 version. However, when I start discord, it still is telling me that I need to upgrade to version 0.0.2, even though thats what is installed. Any ideas?

Maybe try to clean ~/.config/discord/ before starting app.

Did you try renaming the ebuild to 0.0.2?

I'll see what I can come up with tomorrow, hopefully they haven't changed any of the dependancies.

Just an update, renaming the ebuild seems to work.

0.0.2 is already in the main tree (as 0.0.2-r1), what problems are you having?

So it is. There was a time that it wasn't. I guess I can stop maintaining an overlay. 8)
