Making an ebuild for Tuta?
Hello guys, while setting up my new Gentoo system I noticed there's no Tuta desktop app for Tuta (formerly Tutanota). I'm wondering if it's possible to write an ebuild similar to the PKGBUILD at the AUR. The problem is, the prepare and build stage connect to the internet via npm and cargo, and hence require network access. I'm just wondering if such an ebuild would be feasible to maintain in the long term, or if it's better to simply install a Flatpak. I doubt portage integrates well with nodejs, and couldn't find any eclasses for node.js. Thoughts?

The offical download link for Linux is for an AppImage:
https://app.tuta.com/desktop/tutanota-d ... x.AppImage
I made it executable and it opened. I cannot login so I cannot test it further.
You can always create a desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications .
The official web client is:

I don't see the point of building nodejs, tuta, and all of its dependencies when they officially release a distro agnostic AppImage.
