PS: If you need Linux install Packages 'Alien' can help with that
That's why I provide .tar.gz packages statically linked to Qt 5 It'll be too hard to maintain packages for every distro 
For Ubuntu and Debian, I have a PPA with the uptodate version.
It'll be too hard to maintain packages for every distro For Ubuntu and Debian, I have a PPA with the uptodate version.Debian, Red Hat, and Slackware are really the only ones you need to worry about, almost everything else is based off one of those three and it's rare that they're not
Problem is I'm an open-source developer and 56 people are using kdAmn, I can't package myself for all existing OSes.
Usually, there is developers and each distro has its maintainers who will package the application.
I'm sorry, but I don't have enough free time to maintain everything myself. I'm already doing more than most of the other alone developers (some of them keep their application closed source and/or only package for Windows). I try to be multi-platform and that's never enough
All my code is open-source, if someone want to package kdAmn, he can create a package and/or fork my code and adapt it.

Does it have the ability to save messages, so when you return later all the messages that were sent when you weren't around are there to see when you are back?
We really new a proper forum for our Programmers united club, and if this program could be used to create either an app on every users desktop, or a journal entry that magically displaces the content of the chat
then it would be absolutely perfect for team discussions and community growth

Currently, all messages are saved to files (HTML and/or text), but it should be possible to load the last one
I found DA chat very cool because it supports images thumbnails, differents smilies, etc... in fact, the same syntax used in comments, journals, deviations, etc...

Would there be a possibility to open a journal entry with http code that links to a deviant chat?
I've actually discussed this before and apparently it isn't possible, but you are closer to the inner workings of the chat. I'm hoping you can prove the impossible is possible

I think that's possible by defining a custom scheme such as "damn" so a link like damn://ChatRoomName will launch the program associated with "damn" protocol and open the channel "ChatRoomName"
Could you set that up for free or how many points are we talking about here
It's not very difficult to do, I already did that for another program I'll try to implement that when I'll have a little free time.
I'll try to implement that when I'll have a little free time.Just don't forget me and good luck
Thanks 
I begun to implement it, but I would like to improve the order of tabs and which tab has focus

any chance this is available in .deb format?
also is it compatable with the raspberry pi? (can't install with LXtermnal) using: Raspbian

Sure, I'm using Ubuntu's PPA to package for Debian/Ubuntu, just add in your software sources : ppa:kervala/ppa
You can see all supported versions of Ubuntu on : launchpad.net/~kervala/+archiv…
And you just need to find the Debian equivalent to be sure dependencies are satisfied
For example :
Ubuntu => Debian
15.10 wily => jessie / sid
15.04 vivid => jessie / sid
14.10 utopic => jessie / sid
14.04 trusty => jessie / sid
13.10 saucy => wheezy / sid
13.04 raring => wheezy / sid
12.10 quantal => wheezy / sid
12.04 precise => wheezy / sid
11.10 oneiric => wheezy / sid
11.04 natty => squeeze / sid
10.10 maverick => squeeze / sid
10.04 lucid => squeeze / sid

"sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kervala/ppa" doesn't work on the Raspberry pi. Raspbian is different then Debian, Raspbian is for the ARM(ARM11 ARMv6) processor, Debian is for i386(32-bit) and amd64(64-bit) not ARM((ARM11 ARMv6)<=same thing) so I don't think that they are the same at all. you can probably look up the command list for Raspbian and, Debian I'm not sure but if you do please compare them.

Ah yes, sorry I forgot it was an ARM device
But you could compile it yourself You just need to install Qt 5 libs and follow tutorial in : hg.kervala.net/kdamn/file/7017…

You just need to install Qt 5 libs and follow tutorial in : hg.kervala.net/kdamn/file/7017…is it architecture dependent? because if it is that would suck because i would have to remake it so that it would work on my R-pi. also could you tell me (specifically) what version of qt you use as coding can change over time.
because i would have to remake it so that it would work on my R-pi. also could you tell me (specifically) what version of qt you use as coding can change over time.Yes, you only need Qt 5 and CMake. Qt 4 should work too if Qt 5 is not found.
kdamn... for kde? 
MD5 hash? are you serious? that just proves that the hash is the same as MD5 is outdated
also fun little tidbit OSX has a Linux base system

Hum what ?
kdAmn stands for "Kervala deviantART Messaging Network" so K is Kervala not KDE
Why do you talk about MD5 hash and OS X ? Sorry, but I don't understand
kdAmn is an open-source software I write on my free time, if you want to use it, do it, if you don't want, don't do it...
I'm sorry, but I don't see the aim of your comment...

I have kubuntu 15.04 beta and most things with a "K" in front of them is for KDE
as for MD5 hash on "dev.kervala.net/projects/kdamn…" it just confirms that the hash on the file is the same as the given hash I would recommend that you use SHA-2 (I don't know about SHA-256) on your files it will help prevent people from creating a file with a virus in it with the same hash
as for the bit about OS X that's unimportant it's info

I know for KWrite and other softwares, but unfortunately my nickname also begin with a K And, of course, kdAmn should work under KDE because both are using Qt
About MD5, I'm just using Redmine project management so I didn't code anything related. You should post a suggestion on : www.redmine.org
I thought you were taking about : hg.kervala.net/kdamn/file/d8f2…
Because I'm using MD5 to associate content with downloaded images in C++ Problem is that Win32 full paths are limited to 255 characters so if I use SHA-1 or SHA-256, it's more likely to exceed this limit since the cache folder is already very long.
About OS X, Darwin (OS X core) is based on NeXTSTEP and FreeBSD not Linux. OS X uses its owns APIs but since Qt is multi-platform, it allows me to code for both platforms (with some manual fixes)
Thanks

On OS X... why does the sudo su command work in the "Terminal"? Linux is the only OS (To my knowledge) that has that. also (faiap) test.desktop? that I know is a Linux thing
sudo and su are UNIX commands so that's normal they exists under ALL unices : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudo
And Linux is a UNIX
