DESCRIPTION:
Discord is a free-of-cost proprietary VoIP application designed for gaming
communities.
WHY NOT IN FEDORA?
Discord is a proprietary application *and* relies on nonfree libraries (such as
ffmpeg), which the developer has bundled into the application.
RPMLINT OUTPUT (SRPM):
discord.src: W: spelling-error Summary(en_US) gamers -> gamer, games, tamers

JUSTIFICATIONS FOR ERRORS AND WARNINGS:
* spelling-error: gamers is the proper plural of gamer.
* invalid-license: rpmlint doesn't seem to support nonfree licenses
* binaryinfo-readelf-failed: It's right. There's aren't ELF binaries, as
they're ZIP files. Not sure how to remove this error, but am more than willing
to do something to fix this.
* binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath: The developer has built their proprietary
binary to use bundled libraries. It's not ideal, but it's what they've done. I
can try to convince them to just include those libs as a requirement in their
Linux release.
* no-documentation and no-manual-page-for-binary: No documentation is provided
for Discord outside of their website.
* desktopfile-without-binary: /usr/bin/Discord is a symlink to
/usr/lib64/discord/Discord due to the bundled libraries.
NOTES:
This is my first RPMFusion package (and first desktop application package), but
not my first package. I package re2c and openvpn-auth-ldap for EPEL.
