Once we've set up the procedures for maintaining the flatpak ourselves, is there any reason to have a separate repository for it? Shouldn't the flatpak stuff go to the main pavucontrol repo? Not that I have anything against having push rights to the current github repo for now. (By "the procedures" I mean documenting how to update the flatpak build files and how to test them, and following that documentation when doing releases.) > > At least the appdata.xml file looks like something that we should > > maintain ourselves. > > Agreed, but it depends on dropping intltool apparently. Which you seem to have done in a merge request already.
