  • Downgrade python to 3.8.2

    You can probably use the shared-modules file for Python 2.7 as a starting point, assuming they didn't change their build process too significantly between 2.7 and 3.8.
  • Find dependencies for an element of shared-modules

    If it's not guaranteed to be provided by the runtime (which I imagine freetype2 would be), then it's a bug and should be reported. (I submitted a fix for sdl12-compat.json not listing its dependency on GLU.)
  • How do you build flatpaks? Am I missing something?

    Not sure about it, but the gimp flatpak builds gtk2 so I'm not sure if it's part of any runtime or not: https://github.com/flathub/shared-modules/blob/4c83a37cf50fa4c03ceffaf075a189031b5e8e94/gtk2/gtk2.json
  • Are flatpaks the future? I tend to agree.
    6 projects | /r/linux | 20 Jan 2022
    There are some cases where libraries are not shared: Old libraries for example like Python 2 must be bundled with the application, so they can differ. Even then, most stock 'legacy' libraries share the same shared-modules.
