Flatpak support #10

Open raibtoffoletto opened 5 years ago

raibtoffoletto commented 5 years ago

Would be useful to also provide a flatpak to be used in flathub. Right now I think is more globally used by other distros than snap.

I would be willing to add support but I would shy away from adding an extra build system which is why it would need to be integrated with electron-builder. electron-builder currently doesn't have support but there is an issue talking about adding it here. That issue has been open for years and no progress has been made. I will monitor the upstream progress and if they add the feature I will configure it for this repo.

It looks like electron-builder flatpak support was merged in here so this should no longer be a blocker.

A flatpak of ElectronPlayer would be pretty amazing, since it's the default install method for the Steam Deck in desktop mode. That would give a clean interface for accessing many streaming services on our handheld Linux devices in an easily installable way.

@oscartbeaumont You can just pack your existing AppImage into a Flatpak

I have packaged this application as a Flatpak and uploaded the manifest here: https://github.com/Blooym/com.github.oscartbeaumont.ElectronPlayer

No promises to maintain this in the long-term, but I doubt it'd be much work should it need be adapted. I won't be submitting it to Flathub myself but am more than happy for the work to be used should a maintainer wish to do so themselves.
