A private package that downloads the latest Discord .deb file available from official website

Discord is a chatting and texting applicationwhose motivation is to substitute both Skype and TeamSpeak as the desiredchat application for gamers and general purpose.

Currently, Discord is available for downloading for all platforms but, inLinux, it is only available for downloading as a raw .deb file or usingthe Snap Store, without any official PPA. As some users are against theSnap Store (due to its limitations, restrictions and policies), thisrepository aims to provide an easy solution for all users who want to haveDiscord installed and upgradeable.

On the one hand, Discord is available for downloading from the officialwebsite, using the following URL:https://discordapp.com/api/download?platform=linux&format=deb

With that in mind, the filelookup-server.py just runs every fifteenminutes and downloads the latest .deb file provided by that link. Then,using thereprepro program, the PPA is updated and, if a new version isavailable, served to the users.

In that way, the PPA is always up-to-date (with a delay of at most 15minutes) and the end-user can have the stable installation of Discord(or beta one) in their computers.
