Here is the source rpm from Rawhide: http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/development/29/Everything/source/SRPMS/t/telegram-desktop-1.4.3-1.fc29.src.rpm

It contains 3 patches.

Sorry. I meant Fedora 29, not Rawhide. A bit tired today.

We already have get-telegram - isn't this enough? Telegram updates their app very often, it's easier for us if this app is updated automatically.

It still needs to be updated to 1.4.3 nevertheless.
Comment 6 Sander Lepik 2018-10-17 19:46:45 CEST 
It always downloads the latest Telegram from their homepage.

Lets for the sake of it say that we have a new user and he/she looks for telegram-desktop in rpmdrake and gets no hit for that package name and there's no hint to search for get-telegram instead.'

How would you solve that?

Like any problem a newby runs into: he can google for it.

      telegram site:mageia.org

already shows the solution.

Also, he can ask in the forums, on IRC, on a mailing list.

Closing this request as wontfix, because we can't afford to add a package that needs to be updated all the time and get-telegram is a good alternative.
