  • Flathub – The Linux App Store
    9 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 16 Nov 2023
    > Maybe. The CI rules should be made public in that case, though, surely? Maybe they are?

    Agreed, but thankfully they are. The PRs link to <https://github.com/flathub/flatpak-external-data-checker>. That said, it'd be clearer if the flathubbot 'user' profile also linked to that URL.

    > The enormous amount of value the distros bring [...] is audit of packages (and packaging).

    Yes, auditing against supply chain attacks is good! But there's also a risk in running outdated software. I don't have easy answers. But if automation leaves more time for the hard part, great.

  • Developers are lazy, thus Flatpak
    1 project | /r/linux | 10 Jun 2023
    Flathub provides an excellent tool to keep your dependencies up to date, so it's just a matter of adding it to the manifests. Besides, who says 'dependencies not being updated enough' is a valid metric to determine the quality of a package? LOL.
  • How do I easily create a Flatpak from 2 sources?
    6 projects | /r/flatpak | 12 Mar 2023
  • GE-Proton7-48
    3 projects | /r/linux_gaming | 30 Jan 2023
    According to Github issue/PR #126 new builds are failing because of a bug in flatpak-external-data-checker or some incompatibility between the two projects at least.
  • Do snap packages have any real advantages for the end user over native packages?
    1 project | /r/linux | 4 Dec 2022
    I'm surprised the documentation says that since Flathub itself runs its CLI scripts via Flatpak: https://github.com/flathub/flatpak-external-data-checker
  • How do I actually make a flatpak.
    7 projects | /r/flatpak | 20 Oct 2022
    Another thing you could add would be to tag your releases on GitHub, add a tag field next to the commit one, and add an x-checker-data section to the manifest so the Flathub bot will automatically open PRs to update the Flatpak release when you update your repository.
  • Automate dependency update of flatpak
    1 project | /r/flatpak | 11 Sep 2022
    See f-e-d-c, and if you're not planing to submit to Flathub, then look at the GitHub workflow example there. Be aware that auto-merging is not acceptable for anything other than extra-data sources.
  • The culmination of several months of work by dozens of people, Flatpak 1.14.0 is now out!
    8 projects | /r/linux | 22 Aug 2022
  • Zoom can now (as of version 5.11.0) share screen on Wayland
    5 projects | /r/linux | 21 Jun 2022
    Unfortunately the maintainership of the Zoom Flatpak on Flathub has been a bit slow, but you can still install it since the Flathub bot do automatic builds whenever there's an update, thanks to the provided flatpak-external-data-checker service.
  • Fedora Silverblue and the future of app management
    1 project | /r/openSUSE | 1 Jun 2022
    There is https://github.com/flathub/flatpak-external-data-checker which automatizes the update pull requests including dependencies. Flatpak has other downsides, but security or not getting the latest and greatest is not one of them.

  • Need help with releasing Upscayl on Flathub
    8 projects | /r/flatpak | 27 Aug 2022
    I worked on https://github.com/fyne-io/flatpak_demo a while back. Hopefully it might be somewhat useful.
  • Some apps not working on Wayland
    4 projects | /r/flatpak | 22 Mar 2022
    As you say, I am not suing the Wayland socket. The toolkit can either be built with only X11 or with only Wayland (the latter not being more than an alpha) and I’m building with only X11. The spec that I’m using: https://github.com/fyne-io/flatpak_demo/blob/main/io.fyne.flatpak_demo.yml
  • Help with making a flatpak
    2 projects | /r/flatpak | 22 Mar 2022
    I was having the same issues as you and I put together this demo project to help others where I struggled. It’s not doing anything with Python, but I hope that it might at least get you on the right track. https://github.com/fyne-io/flatpak_demo
  • Rust, Flatpak and Building
    2 projects | /r/flatpak | 16 Mar 2022
    While it isn’t directly Rust code, I think you could translate the Flatpak spec relatively easily and switch out to the the free desktop Rust extension. This repository should contain a lot of data that might be useful: https://github.com/fyne-io/flatpak_demo
  • Error when trying to build wormhole-gui as flatpak
