Flatpak package

Now that the blocking issue is closed, can you look into this again?

[rathboma]

I'll look into it. I'm a bit hesitant to support release targets that I can't easily test with, but I understand lots of folks use flatpak.

I just wish there was some other way to use beekeeper studio on Fedora except AppImage. Anything, flatpak or rpm package would do.

@rathboma Are you able to review this ticket again? It appears there has been some progress on the project that was blocking, does the issue persist?

It would be nice if you could publish this as a flatpak on flathub e.g.

Flatpaks are a new software distribution mechanism for Linux distros, can thus installed on any distro and are easy to update. They are easy to install and update and work on all Linux distros.
Also, if you publish it on FlatHub you may grow your user base given many distros include that and it is a common software source, so your app can be discovered more easily.

Here is how to get started.

@rajatpundir as electron-userland/electron-builder#512 is still open and that issue blocks this issue, i guess nothing happens.

How would I keep the flathub image up to date when I release a new version?

Just follow your current release practice

I let it check your tags to find corresponding AppImages: https://github.com/flathub/flathub/pull/3721/files#diff-1a27cde32b0474d19a771c7c17278a3bacc11e11a6a77441df803e8a1d4c64b8R25-R31

I wouldn't mind assisting with this and putting together an initial manifest, it would be cool to have a better package for distros like Fedora.

And elementary OS 😁

Blocked on electron-userland/electron-builder#512

Is there any progress on this?

[proletarius101]

I'm trying to package it to flathub: flathub/flathub#3721. Repackaged from the official AppImage.

I include the NOTE: This wrapper is not verified by, affiliated with, or supported by Beekeeper Studio, Inc. clause in the app description. However, if you want to endorse it, I can remove that sentence.

[rathboma]

Interesting, so a flathub image can just use the appimage build?

Hi @rathboma, would you prefer to

• include the NOTE: This wrapper is not verified by, affiliated with, or supported by Beekeeper Studio, Inc. clause in the app description; or
• endorse the distribution?

Either way, you can join the flatpak repo to manage the package
