chore(packaging): abandon the Flathub channel - #174
Merged
Conversation
The manifest was never the problem: it built against org.gnome.Platform//50, appstreamcli compose and desktop-file-validate passed, and the Flatpak installed and ran. The submission was. flathub/flathub#9821 was closed automatically for a missing checklist — the description replaced the mandatory template instead of filling it in — and the maintainers labelled it AI Slop. Getting back in means commenting on the closed PR with a video of the app running from the Flatpak, against a submission already marked as low quality. packaging/flatpak/ and scripts/gen-flatpak-manifest.sh are removed rather than left to rot: no CI job exercised them, so nothing would have caught them going stale. packaging/README.md keeps the app-id reasoning, the three deliberate linter exceptions and the submission mechanics, so reviving this means reading one section and one git revert, not starting over.

Follows #173, same reasoning applied to the other channel that never went live.

flatpak-builderagainstorg.gnome.Platform//50,appstreamcli composeanddesktop-file-validatepassed, and the resulting Flatpak installed and ran.The submission was. flathub/flathub#9821 was closed automatically — "Checklist(s) not completed or missing", because the description replaced the mandatory template instead of filling it in — and the maintainers labelled it AI Slop. The bot forbids opening a replacement PR; the only way back is a comment on the closed one, carrying a video of the app running from the Flatpak on Linux, against a submission already marked as low quality.
What changes
packaging/flatpak/andscripts/gen-flatpak-manifest.share removed. No CI job exercised them, so nothing would have caught them going stale — unlike the MSIX files, whichverify-packagingstill builds.packaging/README.mdrecords why, and keeps what a revival would need: theapp.voltius.Voltiusid reasoning, the three deliberate linter exceptions with their justifications, and thenew-prbase branch requirement.Reviving this is one section of the README and one
git revert, not a restart.
