Flatpak maintainer here (not of 0 A.D. but other app) Don't worry about it, the app should still work, it just means the 0 A.D. flatpak runtimes should be updated to a new version.

@OtelloHello! I'm not famililar with Flatpak maintenance, but you may have to report that to https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/issues

Yeah, don't do that. It's not a flatpak issue. They're just depreciating something. It would be a problem with the flatpak manifest if anything

 

I'm also going to use this and get on my Soapbox, Wildfire Games, take control of the 0 A.D. flatpak, people use Flatpak a lot, (some systems now even only do flatpak), and we might as well give it official support. Wildfire Games takes over the flatpak, I'll be more than happy to help set up maintenance of it and if people don't want top deal with another build system I should be able to tell it to just steal the snap package and turn it into the flatpak. (Though I still don't understand why we support snap and not the wider used flatpak)

We don't because unlike Snap we don't have someone devoted to it @oSoMoN works on the snap. We the question arised, it would have inevitably fallen on my (weak) shoulders.

Now that being said those things seem to cause a lot of issues compared to distro packages, (bad video drivers, crashes and other issues) so we alway recommend building from source if it's not available on your distro and that's possible.

Maybe one reasonable alternative would be for 0ad to host the flatpack manifest file in a gitea repo. So it would be hopefully easier for someone who volunteers to be the primary maintainer to maintain and anyone could help with it. Sounds like @ShadowOfHassenalready volunteered to do the initial setup?

I think Flatpak requires you to use GitHub for the manifest it has to be in the flatpak organization for it to work, I think (https://github.com/flathub/com.play0ad.zeroad)

But yeah, I'm willing to help maintain it. If we can get control of it and get it officially verified in flatpak. Some distro's like Linux Mint now by default only show verified flatpak apps for flathub.

 

But yeah, I might have to learn some things, but you can count me as a flatpak maintainer I'm already helping to maintain this guy: https://flathub.org/apps/org.feichtmeier.Musicpod

@ShadowOfHassen Let us know what kind of proof you need from us to make it "official"

 

Well, I assume we need to do this: https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/submission#someone-else-has-put-my-app-on-flathubwhat-do-i-do

Then make me, and a few other people as maintainers, at least someone else (just in case I go evil someone can stop me).

I would then make sure I understand how the flatpak works, fix the OP's errors, and then we just need flatpak verified.

https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/verification

Then we'd be good.

We can mark flatpak as not as high supported as binaries, just getting it verified would be nice.
