I may have my information outdated, but
https://youtu.be/4WuYGcs0t6I is rather epic, and what’s even more
interesting, I cannot find any rebutals of it (although,
https://youtu.be/385ZkyoIU18 seems to claim it works, but it is
still not in the main repo).

OpenSUSE (Tumbleweed) user here.

While fundamentally RPM based, I have both flatpak & snap working on it. 
Flatpak does work better of the two.

Thanks,

No clue about openSUSE, but I know Snap works on Debian and I thought
for sure it worked on Fedora (though of course you'd have to install
snapd first, whereas it's preinstalled on Ubuntu). But still, I do
intend on doing both Snap and Flatpak - each has a user base that the
other one doesn't. I'll go ahead and do the Flatpak first since I now
know someone wants a Flatpak for it :)

Thanks for letting me know, and God bless.

Given that Snap really works only on Ubuntu (AFAIK, certainly it
does work neither with Fedora nor with openSUSE), then I would
hugely prefer Flatpak.

Best,

Re: [sword-devel] Packaging Ezra Bible App for Snap and Flatpak users?

[Tobias Klein]

Hi Aaron,

I'd be very open to that!

You should start with the build instruction:

https://github.com/ezra-bible-app/ezra-bible-app/blob/master/BUILD.md#linux

If you need to add a build script consider the existing ones for Linux here:
https://github.com/ezra-bible-app/ezra-bible-app/tree/master/build_scripts/linux

The build targets for the different platforms are also available as npm run 
actions via the package.json file:

https://github.com/ezra-bible-app/ezra-bible-app/blob/master/package.json

Feel free to raise a pull request if you want to add this additional 
packaging in the existing structures mentioned above. I'd be happy to test/ 
review your work.


Best regards,
Tobias

Does this seem like a good idea? Are there hurdles I should be aware
of (other than having to work with Electron)? Would the developers
prefer that I not do this?

Adding it to debian repo would be nice too. And easier for sharing 
modules than snap.
