I'd like to invite Fedora contributors to start creating Flatpaks of graphical
applications in Fedora. We're still working on putting the final pieces into place to
have a complete story from end to end, but it's definitely close enough to get
started.
If you maintain a graphical application, please try creating a Flatpak of it. Your
experience will vary - some applications are quite easy, but if your application, for
example:
* Uses qt5-qtwebengine
* Uses many KDE libraries
* Uses many Perl or Python packages
* Uses texlive
etc, then you may want to wait - we will eventually be creating shared builds to make
bundling these easier. Also, if your application has a system service, installs a polkit
policy, or otherwise is not self-contained, then it's not a good candidate for a
Flatpak.
Or you can pick one of 280+ applications that have been identfied as easy to Flatpak:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Flatpak:Easy
and assist out the application package maintainer by creating a Flatpak of that.
An introduction, draft tutorial and other documentation can be found at:
https://fishsoup.net/misc/fedora-docs-flatpak/flatpak/
(The plan is to integrate this into
docs.fedoraproject.org. For now, the documentation
source
is at:
https://github.com/owtaylor/fedora-docs-flatpak)
For help, please ask on #fedora-workstation on Freenode, or mail
desktop(a)lists.fedoraproject.org.

What does it mean for 'Fedora' Flatpaks?
- Flatpaks that run on a Fedora runtime? Then, what's the benifit to
use Fedora runtime instead of freedesktop ones?
- Flatpaks that maintained by Fedora community? Then, why not
encourage people to contribute to Flathub directly?
