Can you please brief me really quick on how does the flatpack work from maintainer POV? (what does it need for build / creation; what does it need for runtime ) If the flatpack uses the packages from base Fedora; 'rpms/mariadb-connector-c', which I'm the maintainer of probably sent me the email to notify me, that someone somewhere built the package - which would be expected. Anyway, that doesn't clarify to me why the builds looks so much like module builds. -- Michal Schorm Software Engineer Core Services - Databases Team Red Hat -- On Mon, Mar 2, 2020 at 1:23 PM Stephan Bergmann <sbergman@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > On 02/03/2020 12:48, Michal Schorm wrote: > > I'm the maintainer of 'mariadb' & 'mariadb-connector-c' packages > > (rpms) and also 'modules/mariadb'. > > Recently, I discovered a 'modules/mariadb-connector-c' exists.
