What are your views on what we should or shouldn't do with this in the future? Ideally we'd maintain it upstream, because as a user I'd prefer to trust the upstream rather than some third party when installing flatpaks (and if the upstream maintains the flatpak, it will probably be always up to date). It would just mean some extra work for us when doing releases. At least the appdata.xml file looks like something that we should maintain ourselves. We should probably advertise this on the pavucontrol home page. -- Tanu https://www.patreon.com/tanuk https://liberapay.com/tanuk _______________________________________________ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list pulseaudio-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss
