Flatpak packaging

Manifest

Flatpak packaging manifest is generated by running
generate-flatpak-script.sh. This script
requires libolm to be installed on the development PC as it will
create Python virtual environment and install all the requirements in
it.

Note that the requirements are taken from
requirements.flatpak.txt and the ones
specified in the project' root
requirements.txt.

In addition, the list of ignored packages is in
generate-flatpak-script.sh.

Flatpak manifest is created automatically by
generate-flatpak-script.sh using
mirage.flatpak.base.yaml and replacing the
marked placeholder with Python module dependencies.

Building Flatpak

To build flatpak package, you will need flatpak, flatpak-builder, and
KDE 5.12 runtime with SDK. flatpak-builder is usually available from
the same repository as flatpak. See https://flatpak.org/setup/ for
setting it up. To install runtimes (adjust as needed if you prefer
system-wide installation):

flatpak install --user flathub org.kde.Platform//5.12 org.kde.Sdk//5.12

To build, run from the root of the project:

flatpak-builder --repo=../flatpak-repo --force-clean flatpak-build packaging/flatpak/mirage.flatpak.yaml

To create bundle, run

flatpak build-bundle ../flatpak-repo ../mirage.flatpak io.github.mirukana.mirage
