Hi,
is anyone of you interested in a Flatpak recipe or hosting the repo and/or bundle for Inkscape 0.92? You can find the flatpak-builder recipe at
https://github.com/matze/inkscape-flatpak
Personally I do not have the resources to host the repo (93 MB) nor the bundle (18 MB) for a large amount of users. However I think it adds value for distro users that do not support snaps.
Best regards, Matthias
P.S.: I know there used to be a Flatpak for Inkscape but I haven't found anything at all about it.
Dear Matthias,
The website can host the Flatpak, let me know what use the flatpak is and for which platforms.
Once I know that I can direct you to the known person for that platform who can upload. If this is a new sort of platform upload and you'd be interested in being the manager, I can upgrade your user account on inkscape.org and you can upload them yourself.
Best Regards, Martin Owens Inkscape Website Administrator

I can provide a Flatpak for x86_64 and according to [1] this covers click-to-install for "Fedora 25, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, Debian Testing, Arch, and Mageia Cauldron" as well as a bit more involved installation procedure for Ubuntu 16.04+.

Platform is difficult to define in case of Flatpaks because the idea is that Flatpaks are somewhat self-contained and independent of the base distro. If it helps, I just created https://inkscape.org/en/~matze …

I see so the Gnome version of snaps, msi and dmg

I've upgraded your account. You should set a GPG public key and sign your packages when you upload them. Please be mindful that your quota is set to 2GB, but the server does have limited space so please remove old uploads where possible.
Let us know when you have a package upload you're happy with so we can link to them from the downloads pages.

Technically, the umbrella project was a freedesktop project and thus Flatpaks desktop-agnostic, so calling it a GNOME version is a bit far fetched. But on the other hand you are right, the initiative comes from Red Hat personnel …

I uploaded the bundle at
https://inkscape.org/en/~matze/%E2%98%85inkscapeflatpak
Ideally, you would also host the repository which looks somewhat like a Git repository containing multiple files. Unlike the Bundle, it allows users to get the latest updates. But I think for now it's not super-urgent.

Dear Matthias,
For a git repository, we'd probably just point you at gitlab and have the inkscape flatpak git repository under the inkscape project group.
Does that sound like a good future direction?
Best Regards, Martin Owens

I think there's a slight misunderstanding: a flatpak repo is *not* a Git repo. It stores versions of one or more applications which in that sense makes it similar but not the same as Git. This for example is the repo for LibreOffice
http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/flatpak/repository/
it's basically some directories and files served via http(s), nothing more.
Best regards, Matthias

I think flatpak is a GNOME initiative. We use flatpak in Fedora; if there were updated Inkscape flatpaks, I am sure the Fedora design team would be happy to test them and give you feedback.
