Support flatpak distribution #7

Open starofrainnight opened 4 weeks ago

starofrainnight commented 4 weeks ago

Discussed in https://github.com/orgs/taskcoach/discussions/6

Originally posted by **starofrainnight** June 8, 2024 I think flatpak is now the best distribution way for distribute an application on linux system 1. RPM & DEB or other linux platform distribution required different package method on different platform (So many jobs need to do and so many bugs need to fix, etc ...) 2. AppImage is a good way, but building an AppImage appliaction requires an old version linux for compatible (So we can't use some new features) 3. snapcraft just like flatpak, but it's a closed source store solution (I don't like this idea) Now the flatpak could install on almost every linux distribution, and we just need to pack for each cpu arch only, then it will magically works under each linux distribution

Some nice viewpoints come from @wolftune : https://github.com/orgs/taskcoach/discussions/6#discussioncomment-9715494

It makes sense to prioritize one easiest to achieve and maintain option (so if that's Flatpak, great). The goal is definitely to have a reliable way for people to get Task Coach at all.
