Provide RPM package in Downloads

Is it possible to provide an RPM package for other Linux OS like RedHat or CentOS.

At the moment there is only deb and tar.gz, so all CentOS or RedHat users have to convert their packages to an RPM so it could be really great to download it already as an RPM.

  Every time Discord updates I have to spend as much time and effort to get it running again as it would take them to convert the .deb to a .rpm.

  I'm on fedora and I wish there was an alternative platform that was less concerned with selling conversations enough to maintain the user facing front end instead of the customer front end to this extent.

  Until they begin providing an RPM, you can use the following commands:

   

  cd ~/Downloads

  wget 'https://discordapp.com/api/download?platform=linux&format=deb' -O discord-0.0.9.deb

  sudo alien --scripts -r -v -g discord-0.0.9.deb

  sudo sed -i 's#%dir "/"##' discord-0.0.9/discord-0.0.9-2.spec

  sudo sed -i 's#%dir "/usr/bin/"##' discord-0.0.9/discord-0.0.9-2.spec

  sudo rpmbuild --target=x86_64 --buildroot ~/Downloads/discord-0.0.9/ -bb discord-0.0.9-2.spec

   

  Or if you want a one-liner:

  cd ~/Downloads&&wget 'https://discordapp.com/api/download?platform=linux&format=deb' -O discord-0.0.9.deb&&sudo alien --scripts -r -v -g discord-0.0.9.deb&&sudo sed -i 's#%dir "/"##' discord-0.0.9/discord-0.0.9-2.spec&&sudo sed -i 's#%dir "/usr/bin/"##' discord-0.0.9/discord-0.0.9-2.spec&&sudo rpmbuild --target=x86_64 --buildroot ~/Downloads/discord-0.0.9/ -bb discord-0.0.9-2.spec

   

  Note: if you don't have a 64 bit system, you can remove the _64

  I wonder I the Discord team didn't do it yet. It would take a few hours only.

  :(

  Let's keep waiting...
