Initial Psst Flatpak

[TheEvilSkeleton]

The point of this MR is to test Flatpak packages straight from the master branch.

Related to #16.

Can we change this to the bundle values from Cargo.toml?

[TheEvilSkeleton]

Sadly not. Flatpak uses AppStream.

[jpochyla]

Oh sorry, I mean literally copy-pasting the texts from Cargo.toml.

[TheEvilSkeleton]

I'm quite unfamiliar with Rust in general (but familiar with Flatpak packaging). When using Cargo.toml, does it create an AppStream file automatically?

[jpochyla]

Hi, thanks for the PR, and sorry for the wait. Do you think we could move the .deb packaging job to this Packaging workflow?

If we change some things in the CI, then yes. Although I haven't really played with GitHub CI other than packaging Flatpak binaries, and I believe it'd be better if this is in a separate MR.

[TheEvilSkeleton]

@jpochyla can you approve the workflow so it can run the CI? I'd like to know if it's configured correctly.

[TheEvilSkeleton]

@jpochyla please approve it again 😅.

@TheEvilSkeleton How far away is this from this getting published on flathub?

[TheEvilSkeleton]

@jacksongoode depends on how long it takes for this app to get its first release.

[paolobarbolini]

Is .pkg/FLATPAK/cargo-sources.json supposed to be committed to the repo / can the command used to generate it be documented?

[TheEvilSkeleton]

Yes.

[TheEvilSkeleton]

@jpochyla hey, do you still want me to work on this? Perhaps I could contribute for Linux related stuff and create a manifest so you could publish it on Flathub?

[TheEvilSkeleton]

Closing this since I got no response.

[jacksongoode]

@Insprill @TheEvilSkeleton It would be worthwhile following up on this now that there are new maintainers. I'm sure we could get this into Flathub if we tried.

[TheEvilSkeleton]

Thanks. Do you want me to submit the stable version directly to Flathub?

[jacksongoode]

Thanks. Do you want me to submit the stable version directly to Flathub?

I suppose we could do that. The existing workflow is a little broken and might need some updating as well. We don't currently have any versioning since this is still very WIP. I'm not sure how Flatpak would handle updates in this way.

[TheEvilSkeleton]

Sure. I opened flathub/flathub#4151 and I'll contribute everything I can as well.
