Re: Call for participation: Fedora Flatpaks

    I thought there will be some automatic building script for flatpaks,
    so the maintainers doesn't need to do it by themselves.

    
    Is this automatization now dropped?

                    I'd like to invite Fedora contributors to start
                      creating Flatpaks of graphical applications in
                      Fedora. We're still working on putting the final
                      pieces into place to have a complete story from
                      end to end, but it's definitely close enough to
                      get started.
                    

                    If you maintain a graphical application, please
                      try creating a Flatpak of it. Your experience will
                      vary - some applications are quite easy, but if
                      your application, for example:

                    
                     * Uses qt5-qtwebengine

                    
                     * Uses many KDE libraries

                       * Uses many Perl or Python packages
                     * Uses texlive
                    

                    etc, then you may want to wait - we will
                      eventually be creating shared builds to make
                      bundling these easier. Also, if your application
                      has a system service, installs a polkit policy, or
                      otherwise is not self-contained, then it's not a
                      good candidate for a Flatpak.

                    
                    Or you can pick one of 280+ applications that
                      have been identfied as easy to Flatpak:
                       

                       https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Flatpak:Easy

                    
                  and assist out the application package maintainer
                    by creating a Flatpak of that.
