There are many packaging formats and packaging decisions are up to the various distro maintainers, not to the Evo developers. Flatpaks (sic) are different. A flatpak is a self-supported container which includes everything needed to run Evo, so the same flatpak will run on any Linux distro without modification. The downside is that it will run in an isolated sandbox, so is mostly independent of the underlying desktop environment. poc _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
