Please, don't ask for add lsb-release as dependency. In Arch Linux this package is not needed to run Slack Desktop.

And before asking for any other dependency as make or patch or whatever, please read the wiki.

Anybody else unable to use the call functionality with Pulseaudio? If I call, or somebody else calls me and I answer I'm just greeted with an indefinite "Loading…" window.

Finally I update the PKGBUILD and add a warning to i686 users. But if Slack people don't provide an update to i686 in the next release, I drop support to this architecture.

I say drop for now at least. Or keep installing the old one for 32bit (add a warning) in the meantime.

Hello again. We have a small problem with this package. The 64bit version is updated but 32bit not. I ask to Slack people but they say that the 32bit is in "the works". But I think that they are abandoning 32bit version. What do us? Drop 32bit version of package or wait to possible future update?

Hello all. The package is outdated cause the new version is only available for 64bit. When source package be available for both versions I'll update it. UPDATE: Seems the 32bit version is in oven (https://twitter.com/amhairghin/status/783920804882972672)

@joelpet For now slack-ssb-updates.global.ssl.fastly.net works as downloads.slack-edge.com but I take note to change it in next version. Thanks for the hint!

joelpet commented on 2016-08-27 16:32 (UTC)

It seems the download location as specified on Slack's download page (https://slack.com/downloads) has changed to: https://downloads.slack-edge.com/linux_releases/slack-desktop-${pkgver}-amd64.deb and -i386.deb.

The last versions fixes for me the problem with RAM, I am not able to do calls yet though.

@Glaeqen, That's just Slack apparently, it should use same amount of RAM just having the tab open in the browser.

Glaeqen commented on 2016-08-10 20:16 (UTC)

Why does Slack eat so much RAM? It's really strange. Working app consists of 4 processes which in summary take more than 700 MB of RAM! Additionally, app icon in Window Button panel in XFCE isn't working.
