I have been trying to build wormhole-gui (https://github.com/Jacalz/wormhole-gui) as a flatpak but I am running into a few errors. My current makefile is this one: https://gist.github.com/Jacalz/75b6a9b9f00dd5c966ad11ad6b0d907d. There might be more errors as I get further in the build process, but when trying to compile it, I get this error:
Btw, I managed to get it working using vendoring. Worked flawless. I have a whole example project up now: https://github.com/Jacalz/flatpak_demo
For packaging with local cache and without networking, use the flatpak-go-get-generator.py from flatpak-builder-tools. I didn't have much success recently with go-get generator, so I'm not sure if working correctly, or it's just me doing something wrong.
You can add flatpak-external-data-checker property to help to update the Flatpak manifest on new releases.
Use appstream-util to validate your appdata/metadata, see here.
