Build Delta Chat Desktop on OBS

Hey folks,

newbie to OBS here. I want to start a build repo for Delta Chat desktop. Tried a lot of .spec file configurations over the time, but all failed to build the packages.

The source code is pnpm base for building. Can anyone support me here for a successful compiling?

Is it this program?

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:oberkut/deltachat-desktop

If so, see the .spec file there.

If not, please share where the sources can be downloaded.

@playforvoices Hi, whilst you have shown this as solved. It isn’t really… That spec file is for distributing a binary build blob (which is not acceptable on the build service), likewise a potential security hole.

Suggest you read https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Packaging_nodejs#NPM to help building from source.

Hi. Building it correctly requires a lot of fiddling with electron and rust dependencies, so since I needed the package urgently, I had to take the easy way out.
