Flatpak packages

  • 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)
  • examples:

    • Minecraft is fairly simple by fetching the compiled binary and its dependencies with minimal compilation needed
    • RawTherapee is slightly complex with various dependencies defined mostly in one file
    • Gnucash has a complex manifest that is composed of multiple dependencies packages as its own module file
