Flatpak package #477

Open dennwc opened 2 years ago

dennwc commented 2 years ago

Snap packaging is a bit controversial and sometimes causes issues (#476). We should provide Flatpak packaging as well.

Did some initial work here a few weeks ago, but cannot yet make all the dynamic libraries to link properly. Need to figure out why. Help from anyone experienced with Flatpak will be appreciated.

Finally got it working locally :tada:

Now I need to figure out the minor details (.desktop link, icon, description, saving config and logs to correct paths, etc).

So the next release will definitely support Flatpak!

Test build is up! :rocket: It will be available for 5 days, hopefully by that time Flathub PR will be approved.

flatpak install org.freedesktop.Platform.Compat.i386//22.08

flatpak install --user https://dl.flathub.org/build-repo/595/io.github.noxworld_dev.OpenNox.flatpakref

Our application to FlatHub was accepted :tada:

We are officially live: https://flathub.org/apps/details/io.github.noxworld_dev.OpenNox

The only thing left is to add a badge/link to readme and Linux installation guide.

As a reminder for myself, here's our FlatHub repository that needs to be updated after release: https://github.com/flathub/io.github.noxworld_dev.OpenNox .

I found a problem with flatpak on somewhat fresh install of Ubuntu 22. Flatpak version uses $HOME to store data, which is a big no-no. It has to use XDG Base folder specification or at least place its data in "$HOME/.opennox".

EDIT: I did some testing and found that Flatpak version of OpenNox places data into the working directory. Also this problem affects the loading of gamedata.bin file -- it tries to find it in working directory by default.
