Make this application available as flatpak package on FlatHub #1607

Open Nokia808 opened 4 years ago

Nokia808 commented 4 years ago

Hi. It will be very useful for Linux users if you make this application available as a flatpak package on FlatHub. Doing so you will make this application available for almost all Linux distors & users in very convenient & secure way ...... Open source applications when added as flatpaks on FlatHub will be in deterministic (reproducible package) & automatically updated & works on almost all Linux distros ... Moreover, flatpak is easier than & more convenient & more secure than AppImage ......

Retroshare make itself available on flatpak, so why Bitmessage not? - see: https://www.flathub.org/apps/details/cc.retroshare.retroshare-gui

Best.

I created a flatpak-builder configuration you can use to build a flatpak file yourself. See: https://github.com/Bitmessage/PyBitmessage/pull/1618

Hosting it on Flathub would be the next step, but this requires some actions by the project owner (like signing the package with their GPG key, cross-compiling for multiple architectures, ...).
