#OSTree deduplication and delta updates are amazing.

Sure, #Flatpak apps are a bit big as they bundle their libraries…

But then I just updated Totem, a 8.5MB app, and the total download for the update was… 1.0KB. 🤩

On #flatpak and sensationalist "news": http://ramcq.net/2018/10/15/flatpak-sandbox-security/

Personally, that flatkill thing gave me the impression someone had just looked at our TODO list and presented things we know of and are actively working on like they are glaring security issues. 🙄

My ABI checker has just been merged into the Freedesktop SDK.

We can finally be confident that we won't break apps when we update the runtime, which was one of the promises of Flatpak. 🙂

Thanks to Jérôme Parmentier, Musicbrainz Picard is now up to date in Flathub!

Picard 2.0 was released 3 weeks ago, but somehow I only managed to get to it today. 😞

New blog post: a dashboard to monitor #GNOME nightly #Flatpak builds:

Just sent a pull request allowing #Dino to be built as #Flatpak :

https://github.com/dino/dino/pull/343

The Picard build on Flathub now has discid in it, fixing a bad bug:

#MusicBrainz #Picard #Flatpak

Really enjoying #Dino

Hopefully I'll have a #Flatpak build ready soon. 🙂

One more #GNOME app available as #Flatpak:

Only builds from master for now, hopefully we can push the next release to #Flathub. 😀

On Linux distributions, and why we need to move to a different way of distributing our software to our users by @ebassi

We desperately need something like #flatpak to take over.

I hinted about it here in the past, but here's the complete set of instructions (all 3 of them) needed to build apps on different architectures with #flatpak:

The Flatpak tooling is just plain amazing. 😍

You can now install Play it Slowly with #Flatpak.

I want a pytest plugin which runs the tests in an environment without network access.

Maybe in a Linux user namespace with unshared network? (like what bubblewrap does for #flatpak)

This would be so much better than periodically running the tests with the Wi-Fi off... 😒

#python #tests

As of today, #Flatpak builds of #Blender are now on Flathub.

#flatpak

Trying to figure out why the Arch64 build of Blender failed in Flathub.

Doing that on my x86_64 laptop merely requires installing the Aarch64 platform/sdk and then building with `flatpak-builder --arch=aarch64 ...`.

Building for multiple arches could not be easier.

#flatpak

Just pushed the latest #MusicBrainz Picard 1.4.2 to Flathub.

Get it on any Linux distribution: https://picard.musicbrainz.org/docs/linux/#flatpak

#flatpak

I just pushed MuzicBrainz Picard to Flathub, so it's now available as #flatpak.

Install on any Linux distribution with `flatpak install --user --from https://www.daitauha.fr/static/flatpak/picard.flatpakref`

Currently talking with upstream about having it hosted there.
