Re: [Kicad-developers] Requesting maintainership for KiCad manifest on flathub.org

[Jon Evans]

Hi Johannes,

Thank you for offering to take on maintenance of the flathub package.
We are happy to have your help with this, and as far as I know none of
the other lead developers was planning on taking it on.

Please feel free to reach out here if you run into any challenges with
fixing the packaging issues.  I'm not sure how much experience any
of us have with flatpak, but we can do our best to help figure them out.

Best,
Jon

Re: [Kicad-developers] Requesting maintainership for KiCad manifest on flathub.org

[Johannes Maibaum]

Wow, that was quick. I got added as a collaborator.

And I have just merged the update to v5.1.6 on flathub. This should hit
flatpak users as soon as some build machine does the job. It will still
lack all of the open issues, like no Python scripting support, no docs,
among a few other things), but I will start tackling them during the
next few days.

Let me just repeat in case I wasn't getting through my point before: If
anyone from the core team wants to maintain 
https://github.com/flathub/org.kicad_pcb.KiCad please let me know.

Apart from that I will try doing my best as flatpak packager from now
on.

My original intent for asking here was not asking someone on this list
to give me maintainer rights, but rather if somebody from the core
packagers/devs would be wanting to take over the flathub maintainership
themselves.

Anyhow, I have just asked over on flathub [1] if they would be giving me
maintainership rights. Let's see what comes out of this.

Re: [Kicad-developers] Requesting maintainership for KiCad manifest on flathub.org

[Nick Østergaard]

I am not aware of who the maintainer of the flatpak is, nor do I think he
may follow this list closely.

But it would certanly be good to get the package updated to be on part with
other packages.

[Kicad-developers] Requesting maintainership for KiCad manifest on flathub.org

[Johannes Maibaum]

Hello KiCad team,

during the past months, I have been updating the KiCad flatpak on
flathub.org from time to time, via PRs to 
https://github.com/flathub/org.kicad_pcb.KiCad (I am preparing the
update to KiCad 5.1.6 right now as well).

There are a few pending issues with the current flatpak build manifest
for KiCad which I'd like to address: Activating Python scripting
support, adding the docs, and generally updating various dependencies
would be my next steps.

I was recently being asked by another user if I would like to request
the maintainership of the KiCad manifest on flathub, and I am now
contemplating to do so. But, since I did only contribute a few tiny-tiny 
things to KiCad in the past, I wanted to ask the core
packagers/developers first, if anyone else would take over the
maintainership instead?


Cheers,
Johannes
