I don't know how soon it'll be. The Flatpak manifest goal is a small goal (the files are even already written, it's just moving them and doing small edits). If it's useful during 6 months or one year, that's already worthwhile. It's easy to remove the Flatpak manifests once (and if) BuildStream becomes the preferred way. -- Sébastien _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
