I am not familiar with this approach. How would the user install a flatpack version on his computer. Would it need to be a Linux distribution or could it be Windows 10 or MacOS? How would the user access the installed Sugar - launch as an application in his os or reboot / chroot as we do between Gnome and Sugar? Would the flatpack application require separate partitions or share the installed os disk space?

Great!

I have thinking for a while about do the same with Sugar itself.
Flatpak looks like a good technology to distribute the project.

    Hi,

    I'm working on a flatpak package for Sugarizer.

    Flatpak http://flatpak.org/ is the new way to distribute applications
    in GNU/Linux. Is great for many reasons. One reason is that the same
    package works for any modern Linux distribution like Fedora, Debian,
    Arch, Ubuntu. I made the package targetting Endless OS which is
    leading the development of flatpak. But again, any modern distro will
    benefit with this.

    My original post is here:
    https://community.endlessm.com/t/sugarizer-in-endless/2097
    <https://community.endlessm.com/t/sugarizer-in-endless/2097>

    My current state: I have a repository with the toolchain and
    instructions for building a Linux64 package
    https://github.com/manuq/sugarizer-electron
    <https://github.com/manuq/sugarizer-electron>

    I was wondering where to upload the package. I think the Sugarlabs
    infrastructure would be the best option to store it. Here are
    instructions on how to start a remote flatpak repository in a
    webserver:
    https://blogs.gnome.org/alexl/2017/02/10/maintaining-a-flatpak-repository/
    <https://blogs.gnome.org/alexl/2017/02/10/maintaining-a-flatpak-repository/>

    The first release will be a big download, but flatpak is supposed to
    download the delta between versions.

    I will update the Sugarizer wiki page once I manage to log into the SL
    wiki again.
