Flatpak package maintenance #480

Closed jurf closed 6 years ago

jurf commented 6 years ago

Hey.

I started to package this as a Flatpak. You can check the progress here: flathub/flathub#615.

I will most likely finish packaging it, it’s looking quite good, but I have two questions for you:

  1. Would you be interested in having read/write access to the build files on @flathub and/or (co-)maintaining the package?
  2. Would you mind merging the AppData file upstream, once it’s done?

Cheers.

I doubt Flatpak can support most of what Syncthing-GTK does, starting at very important task of executing /usr/bin/syncthing from actual filesystem :)

But to answer your question, 1. no, I would not be interested and 2. I don't mind merging it. There should already be one here, used by AppImage build.

The syncthing binary will be packaged and kept updated with Syncthing GTK, that’s not a problem. It should be fine, though file manager integration probably won’t work, and there might be problems with syncthing itself, but then again might not, we’ll see.

Thanks for the AppData, I’m currently using the one from Fedora, I’ll merge them and get them up to shape.

If you ever change your mind about the access/maintainership, just ask anywhere Flathub related, or heck, just reopen this. :slightly_smiling_face:

Turned out fine! Would be appreciated if you’d link to the Flathub page in the package section. Thanks!
