I’m trying to package and publish a tool I’ve been working on, but for the life of me, I’m struggling with Flatpak.
It’s a wails app, that relies on webkit2-4.0 and some additional libraries that are not present in any of the Sdks I’m using. (javascriptcore, etc…)
To get those libs, I tried building the app AND webkit itself against the specific platform. But since webkit takes such a long time to build, I’m running in circles.
Welp.
I’ve been trying for a while, looking up other manifests helped me but I’m still lost on a few things. Maybe we could help each other. I am the creator of open-tv.
I managed to get it somehow working, but it got rejected by Flathub, because they don’t want me to build webkit and use the network during build (which I need)
I’m working on resticity, a restic frontend.
Not relying on the network during a build is pretty common while making an rpm package. It’s a pretty reasonable requirement to have. I’d suggest looking into what e.g. the equivalent Fedora package does.
So us security/enterprise types hate it AND packagers hate it?
We’ll have all of you back building 12 different package formats in no time!
I wonder if app devs would actually prefer snap
yes… since it’s way easier to distribute, anything, by anyone.
Speaking of which… I’m the official maintainer of all the crypto wallets out there… trust me, bro!
