net-im/flare.patch

Flare is an unofficial app for Signal. It is still in development
and doesn't include all the features that the official Signal apps do.

WWW:	https://gitlab.com/schmiddi-on-mobile/flare

Poudriere testport passes on 150amd64-default, also pet'd port{clippy,fmt,lint}.

I will see If i can test it on RELEASE versions too.

net-im/signal-desktop uses electron which is a big time consuming port to build. This one is using rust which typically builds in 1 hour in 4c/8t system. It doesn't support all the features of official signal but it's at least usable.

Thanks to Mikael Urankar for letting me maintain this patch.

Thanks in advance.

(In reply to Yusuf Yaman from comment #1)
the port did built OK in 142amd64-default too but somehow I couldn't build graphics/colord dependency of flare in 142i386-default jail. I wonder if it's related to me using 15.0-CURRENT OS version.
