Flathub – The Linux App Store
> 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 But there's also a risk in running outdated software.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
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?

GE-Proton7-48
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?
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.
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
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!

Zoom can now (as of version 5.11.0) share screen on Wayland
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
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.

Geary 40, the massively improved email client, is coming to Tumbleweed!
Perhaps report that on the flatpak github page, I don't see an open issue for it.
