- Some updates to pacman as I'm going to trying to use Open Build Service which apparently has support for publishing Arch Linux packages. Pretty nice! - Starting to take more notes for Git as I use it beyond the simple commit and push workflow. I mostly use it to create patches for packaging other applications. - Updates for Drawabox.

|
- a Flatpak package usually is an application that depends on runtimes which are collections of library
|
|
- while runtimes can be created, there are only a handful of them in the official Flathub remote
|
|
- some of the runtimes include Freedesktop, GNOME, and KDE
|
|
- you can run the runtimes to know the installed packages (e.g., ~flatpak run org.freedesktop.Sdk//19.08~)
|
|
- Flatpak can get packages from a repository referred to as *remotes* similar to Arch packages or FreeBSD ports
|
|
- the package definition are referred to as a *manifest* similar to [[id:963c043e-4972-4b29-8360-223ec3465203][Nix packages]]
|
|
- Flatpak can create bundles from a manifest, enabling easier distribution without a Flatpak remote
|
|
- similar to [[id:963c043e-4972-4b29-8360-223ec3465203][Nix packages]] and [[id:be917383-84c4-4bf5-9ca0-b04bfb778f4f][Guix package manager]], sandboxing is an important part of the build process;
|
|
thus, there are limitations such as no network availability, filesystem access, and socket access;
|
|
by default, applications only have access to their runtime folders
|
|
- Flathub, the main repository, is concerned with [[id:fe9e21bc-3b38-4d0f-a785-253248a38ed7][Reproducible builds]]
|
|
- examples: + [[https://github.com/flathub/com.mojang.Minecraft/][Minecraft]] is fairly simple by fetching the compiled binary and its dependencies with minimal compilation needed
|
|
+ [[https://github.com/flathub/com.rawtherapee.RawTherapee][RawTherapee]] is slightly complex with various dependencies defined mostly in one file + [[https://github.com/flathub/org.gnucash.GnuCash][Gnucash]] has a complex manifest that is composed of multiple dependencies packages as its own module file
|
|
+ [[https://github.com/flathub/org.libretro.RetroArch][RetroArch]] is similarly complex to Gnucash with its vendored dependencies packaged as its own module
|
|
- Flathub has a [[https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak-builder-tools][curated set of scripts]] to automate building manifests for several projects such as Python, Rust, and Node similar to roam:nixpkgs
|
|
- Flathub also has a [[https://github.com/flathub/shared-modules/][collection of modules intended to be shared among the repo]] serving as an additional base for the most common dependencies that cannot be found in runtimes
