Distribute as Flatpak #10

Open gianni-rosato opened 1 year ago

gianni-rosato commented 1 year ago

LibreWolf is available as a Flatpak, as is standard Mozilla Firefox.

Scrolling down & looking at the number of downloads these browsers receive, LibreWolf gets consistently over 650 downloads per day & Firefox gets over 7,000 per day. Mercury is incredible, and I think the average user would enjoy its benefits. Purely from an adoption standpoint, I could see Flatpak distribution doing great things for Mercury. Many distros are configured with Flatpak support out of the box now, and it would make Mercury far more accessible to the average user. I really hope you consider this, as I'd love to use a Mercury Flatpak & I'm sure many others would as well. Thank you!

LibreWolf can be useful as a reference.

If you write the YAML, I could mantain the package as you update this project, I already mantain a FlatPak package, OpenARENA(Quake3e engine).

Hey, any word on whether or not this is being considered?

xplshn commented 1 year ago

Would love to see this! Flatpak would make installing cleaner and easier.

Have you tested it?

nhubaotruong commented 11 months ago

Yes, I've built the flatpak and can run it locally, I just hasn't got the icon right yet image

gz83 commented 11 months ago

Which icon is abnormal?

@nhubaotruong

nhubaotruong commented 11 months ago

@gz83 I meant I haven't put in any app icon and .desktop file

Any progress on this? Are there any blockers that prevent this from being sent over to FlatHub?

Maybe it would be great if you shared what you have done so far. I have no experience with flatpak and would love to push this forward.
