| KDE Software approach to Flatpak is still not ready. Nevertheless, it's being shaped up. If you're interested in helping, please send an e-mail to [mailto:[email protected] [email protected]]. | |
| | |
| The idea behind flatpak is that your applications will depend on a runtime. KDE provides a runtime with Qt and all KDE Frameworks 5 (except for the 4th tier) to make sure it's easily adaptable for any KDE Application and possibly most Qt-based applications as well. | |
| | |
| This runtime can be added by following these instructions:
| |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| flatpak remote-add kde http://distribute.kde.org/flatpak-testing/ --no-gpg-verify
| |
| flatpak install kde org.kde.Platform
| |
| flatpak install kde org.kde.Sdk
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| | |
| Now you get to compile your favorite application. If you want to see how it's done, you can see some of the ones that have already been built. You can find it [https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=scratch%2Fapol%2Fxdgapp-nightly-apps.git&a=tree here].
| |
| | |
| To compile an applications, you should create a json file similar to the ones in the previous link. Then you'd just need to trigger the build and get it into a repository. For testing, I recommend just creating a local one (to publish an rsync will be required).
| |
| | |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| mkdir app repo
| |
| flatpak-builder --ccache --require-changes --repo=repo --subject="Build of AWESOMEAPP `date`" app org.kde.AWESOMEAPP.json
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| | |
| This will do everything required and create a repository in ./repo. To test the application we add the repository (called remotes), we install the application and then we run it:
| |
| <syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
| |
| flatpak add-remote awesomeapp repo
| |
| flatpak install org.kde.AWESOMEAPP
| |
| flatpak run org.kde.AWESOMEAPP
| |
| </syntaxhighlight>
| |
| | |
| Now you will see that some things don't work and you'll have the privilege to start fixing things!
