Flatpak package outdated #100

Closed skipperTux closed 1 year ago

skipperTux commented 1 year ago

Hello. When opening the Flatpak app it shows a Device Messages saying "This build is over 120 days old - There might be a new version available." The GitHub deltachat-desktop repository is at version 1.34.0, Flatpak is at version 1.32.1. However in the Desktop repository at Linux - Flatpak it says "The primary distribution-independed way to install is to use the flatpak build." Is this not true anymore? Is the Flatpak package deprecated?

https://github.com/flathub/chat.delta.desktop/pull/97 tries to update the app, but the technologies chosen make it more difficult than normal applications. Feel free to assist in pushing it over the finish line.

I am neither in npm nor a flatpak, but it looks like some npm dependency issue. Some other project has a similar error, they suggest to use yarn instead of npm. Also maybe this flatpak-builder-tools error is related?

yeah, could well be that others have stumbled upon similar issues. I invite you to try and build it yourself :) The instructions should get you going. If they don't, then it's a bug in the documentation! So please try and see how far you get with the instructions provided.
