Update version #30

Closed MartinIIoT closed 3 years ago

MartinIIoT commented 3 years ago

Hello, is it possible to update Flatpak package (https://flathub.org/apps/details/cc.arduino.arduinoide) to 1.8.15 and distribute every latest version to this repository?

Thank you

Yes, of course. I am currently a bit low on time, this would be an easy (but somewhat tedious¹) contribution if you want to try it. It is basically replacing https://github.com/flathub/cc.arduino.arduinoide/blob/master/cc.arduino.arduinoide.json#L86 with the correct number and sha256sum, and repeat that for any modules that are required by the IDE. The good side, is that when the build requires a newer version, the build will fail telling you which version is needed.

  1. This is due to the large amount of dependencies.

Thanks for your reply. And it is possible to write short manual how to build it (I can try contribute)?

First you need to get a bit familiarized with flatpak-builder, a naive but effective way to build this would be to go to the manifest and update L86 both with the new url and sha256sum for the tar.xz, then run 

flatpak-builder builddir cc.arduino.arduinoide.json --force-clean --user --install

where the last 2 flags tell that you want to install it (to test it) as an user if it succeeds. The build most likely than not will fail telling you that module X with version Y was not found and you will have to update that as well on the manifest, then repeat. There should be somewhere a place with the new dependencies required for the version, but I don't remember where it was.

can try contribute

Please do.
