Bug ID: 1727602 Summary: Fedora flatpak for this app on registry.fedoraproject.org Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Status: NEW Component: fontforge Assignee: kevin@scrye.com Reporter: 7d28c752@opayq.com QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, kevin@scrye.com, paul@frixxon.co.uk, pnemade@redhat.com Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora
It would be great if you could provide a flatpak package of this app to https://registry.fedoraproject.org/.
Especially for users of Fedora Silverblue https://silverblue.fedoraproject.org/ this then allows a seamless installation and upgrades without rebooting the system (just restarting the application).
Additionally, flatpaks can of course be installed on any distro, so also non-Fedora users could use it too.

I know this app is available on Flathub as a flatpak, but I still prefer Fedora's package testing/QA etc., that's why I'd also like to have a version on https://registry.fedoraproject.org/. Also Flathub is a third-party source from the Fedora users/projects viewpoint, so I guess some users would not like to use third-party app sources. However, the fact that it is on Flathub should make it easier for you to implement this, because you can have a look on how they do it. (Not that you need to do everything in the same way, but it proves it is possible to package as a flatpak, at least.)

--- Comment #5 from Parag Nemade pnemade@redhat.com --- Let's close this as we don't have capacity to create flatpak from Fedora rpms. We can use Flathub flatpak for now.
