-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 * Package name : telegram Version : 0.10.20 Upstream Author : The Telegram Developers * URL : https://desktop.telegram.org/ * License : GPL-3 Programming Lang: C++ Description : Official desktop client for the Telegram instant messaging protocol Telegram is a popular, multi-platform, open, instant messaging protocol, which seems especially popular on mobile, but has a desktop client. While the protocol probably shouldn't be relied on for confidentiality [0,1], the UI pushes users towards insecure communication as the default, and the developers have made quixotic attempts at arguing why their protocol is secure rather than fixing it [2], I believe that there is value in packaging Telegram rather than having users download and install unsigned binaries [3]. I plan to maintain the package inside collab-maint.
