[bug#31331] [PATCH 1/2] gnu: Add bitlbee-discord.

[Nils Gillmann <gillmann@infotropique.org>]

Hi Pierre-Antoine,

this package definition is promising but needs some last tweaks.
I did not build it so far.

Nitpick, I would write it like:

 +              (uri
 +               (string-append "https://github.com/sm00th/bitlbee-discord/"
 +                              "archive/" version ".tar.gz"))

Is the configure.ac in this case special, or why doesn't it pick our SHELL
that is already in the environment of the build chroot?

Does the buildsystem of bitlbee-discord check for bitlbee, or why is this required?

It's a bitlbee plugin, how about:

"Discord plugin for Bitlbee"

> +    (description "This package is plugin for bitlbee IRC to other messaging
> +gateway.")

You could write:

"Bitblee-discord is a plugin for Bitlbee which provides access to servers
running the Discord protocol"


I'm not very well informed about Discord, so other people might know more.

> +    (home-page "http://www.bitlbee.org/")

Here we use either the homepage, and if it doesn't exist we link to
a webview of the sourcecode or its directory on an httpd where the
source is, in this case you'd use

"https://github.com/sm00th/bitlbee-discord/"
