Debian or Flatpak package for Linux

[pabloab]

Would be great to offer/build Linux installer on a Flatpak package. Afterward could be offered on Flathub, so the installation process end up being just flatpak install flathub qa-catalogue (flatpak install qa-catalogue will probably work too).

Offering a .deb would be nice too.

@pabloab Thanks for the idea. Could you recommend a tutorial how to create a .deb package? I am not familiar with Flatpak, so a tutorial for that would be useful as well.

Considering all those CLI commands, and the fact that Flatpak is sadly heavily GUI-oriented, maybe this issue should be reoriented to deb package.

I'm far from an expert, but this seems like a good starting point. Possibly even better this java-oriented guide.

Thanks a lot!

We are working on better support of Docker images so decided against providing yet another package form because this requires maintainance.
