In fact, I did start upstream: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=387719
After that bug was closed, I talked to Aleix Pol, the main Discover developer, and he said that this kind of decision is up to distros. So according to him, it would be up to the Kubuntu plasma-discover packagers to make plasma-discover-flatpak-backend a required dependency (and probably pre-populate it with the Flathub repo, until https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=387718 is implemented). ** Bug watch added: KDE Bug Tracking System #387719 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=387719 ** Bug watch added: KDE Bug Tracking System #387718 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=387718 ** Summary changed: - Discover packaging uses packagekit backend by default; should instead default to Snap or Flatpak + Kubuntu Discover packaging uses packagekit backend by default; should instead default to Flatpak -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1737466 Title: Kubuntu Discover packaging uses packagekit backend by default; should instead default to Flatpak To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plasma-discover/+bug/1737466/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
