Consider adding Mattermost #60

Open gregharvey opened 4 years ago

It's almost the only thing I have to manually install these days, thanks to you! :-)

I see little value of desktop apps myself (as a Mattermost pro user). Is there any ?

Which install method are you using ? (snap, tarball, I don't see any rpm package). Would you consider to add a plugin for fedy ?

Woah, sorry, didn't see this!

For me it's handy to have Mattermost as a separate app I can alt+tab to, I tend to have a lot of windows and tabs open in a browser, so not needing to have a Mattermost window with a bunch of tabs - because I have the app - and being able to quickly see it / switch when I alt+tab is a time saver. That's just me, each to their own, but I like the separation of an app. Another thing is the notifications integrate better with GNOME3, from what I can tell.

Anyway, I'm using the tar.gz, there's no RPM but it seems stable and easy to install. Happy to make a PR when I get a minute, if it's likely to be accepted. The (recently deleted) Master PDF Editor plugin used to grab a tar.gz from a page and install it, I can use that as a base. At least with Mattermost there aren't different tar.gz files for different distros, there's only one, so it should be easy enough to make and maintain.

Just let me know if you'd accept it if I make it. :-)

It's still an issue not to have RPM packages for single applications. But I won't deny it.

How do you feel about copr repos? Are they a no no?

Edit: I ask, because last time I installed Mattermost with this: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/valentinb/mattermost/

It looks like fine if it's maintained, of course it will be better to have an official fedora package, but fedy is here to help until properly packaged in fedora.

I'm debating whether pulling the RPM is better or relying on a copr repo...? Hmmm. This one seems to be getting built every month or so, which is a good sign. I'm inclined to use it...
