Feature request]: Add Flatpak & deb package

[dnet890]

it would be great if we could have at hand this app in a Flatpak & deb format.
O.S: Ubuntu
O.S. version: 20.04
version 2021.4.101

[p3x-robot]

yes, it would be so cool!

[freddyw]

I would love a flatpak version as well!

[p3x-robot]

electron-builder does not come with Flatpak, maybe someone will do it...

[p3x-robot]

the dep will be deployed now.

If it can't be a flatpak, would a rpm be possible? I am using Fedora, would be nice.

[p3x-robot]

i think rpm is possible electron-builder does rpm, so it should be released soon. a few hours. now working.

[p3x-robot]

although i cannot test it, as i only test linux mint (ubuntu)

[freddyw]

No worries, I can test it (on Fedora 32 and 33) and let you know the result. Thanks in advance!

[p3x-robot]

ok, you can test. i close this as it is done and flatpak is not available in electron-builder, i will not do it with manual fix, i will until electron-builder supports.

There will be also an official repo in the future?

[dnet890]

@p3x-robot it looks like electron builder is supported (electron-userland/electron-builder#512). Can it be reopened?

[rbarte]

If it can't be a flatpak, would a rpm be possible? I am using Fedora, would be nice.

I would also vote for a RPM package (Fedora). ;-)

BUT, the simplest method of distribution are standard Linux distro-indepenent binaries (packed with *.tar.gz). They are convenient for most Linux users - one can just unpack them to ~/opt (for autoupdate) or /opt, install dependencies and run. Not everyone uses snap/flatpak/appimage. And binary is simplest solution.

[p3x-robot]

you can install via npm install p3x-onenote

[p3x-robot]

i do not support flatpak

[dnet890]

@LeandroStanger the current workaround is use distrobox and install the deb file from within.
