Flatpak distribution of jEveAssets #434

Closed Nathan-LS closed 7 months ago

Nathan-LS commented 7 months ago

Hi!

I put together a project at https://github.com/NullsecSpace/io.github.GoldenGnu.jEveAssets to publish jEveAssets as a Flatpak on FlatHub.org. Flatpak apps are easily distributed as sandboxed applications on Linux and an introduction to Flatpak is available here.

Can I publish this on FlatHub.org? You can also fork my repo and publish the app following the steps in the submission guidelines as Flathub prefers apps to be published by their developers.

Thanks!

You're free to redistribute jEveAssets as long as you follow the terms in the GNU general public license, version 2 (or at your options, any later version)

I only make releases on GitHub and via the auto update. I'm not interested in maintaining distributions elsewhere.

I would like to point you to the follow issue: https://github.com/GoldenGnu/jeveassets/issues/63 that allow you some extra options as a packet manager - if you need additional options, please let me know and I will see what I can do.

I'm going to close this issue as completed, but, if you need anything else if regard to the redistribute, please, post it in this issue.

Thank you, jEveAssets was published successfully on FlatHub allowing it to be packaged once and usable on practically any Linux distro.

I did open a PR as some of the files in the Flatpak repo were requested to be added to upstream.

Also, from my browsing it appears no versions of the app icon exist that are larger than 64x64, even from the original in the SDE icon pack unless you know of a larger png or SVG.

I will try to get the PR review as soon as possible, but, my time is very limited ATM, so it may take some time before I get around to it.

Yes, 64x64 is the largest icon available. If you need a larger icon, you will have to use the 64 logo and add empty space around it. I have tried multiple solution to upscale it, but, it end up looking terrible. Ofc. I'm not great at image editing, so it may be possible somehow.
