Is it of no concern that the main repository through which GNOME is to distribute all stable flatpaks (Flathub) contains several malicious, non-libre programs? (With nothing reminiscent of radical separation from the libre ones, too, from what I’ve noticed.) Regards // Tirifto
The goal of flathub (https://flathub.org/) is to be a single location where you can find builds of the latest stable version of linux desktop applications, ideally maintained by the upstream author. That way the experience for flatpak users is much nicer, just add one remote and you can then find all apps via e.g. gnome-software. In line with this, I last week moved all the remaining applications from the gnome-apps-nightly stable branch to flathub and disabled further builds from the stable branch. gnome-apps-nightly is still used for the semi-automatic nightly builds from git master though. This means that in the future, stable releases that wants to be flatpaked should be built via flathub. I wrote some docs on how do to this on the flathub wiki: https://github.com/flathub/flathub/wiki/Maintaining-an-application- on-flathub This week mail out all the maintainers of the current apps and ensure they have access to the new repos. If anyone wants to add new apps to flathub, the instructions for that are here: https://github.com/flathub/flathub/wiki/Submission-Guidelines
