 Nico Alt | izzy_: On Arch Linux with Gnome for example, you don't have to prepare anything. You just open Gnome Software (their app store client), search for Repomaker and install it with a single click. | 13:52:00 |
| Nico Alt | That's really a great UX there. Just like in F-Droid, you can have multiple repos, with Flathub and the Arch repo being the default ones. | 13:52:48 |
 izzy_ | Nico Alt: I'm running Linux Mint. Flatpak is preinstalled with that as well. Maybe I give that a try then. Never having used Flatpak I just feel uncomfortable with it: any errors popping up might be mine, or Flatpaks, instead of Repomaker's … | 14:11:41 |
| Nico Alt | izzy_: If you encounter any problems, feel free to ping me and I'll try to help! | 14:14:39 |
| izzy_ | Nico Alt: thanks a lot! With the .deb not becoming officially available "any time soon", that's probably the only way to get the article done ;) | 14:23:17 |
| izzy_ | Is it already available vie Flahub, or do I need to download it somewhere? | 14:23:39 |
| Nico Alt | No, not yet. But chances are good that it could happen today. | 14:25:49 |
| Nico Alt | izzy_: We've made it: https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.fdroid.Repomaker | 17:25:41 |
| izzy_ | Nico Alt: \o/ | 18:06:48 |
| izzy_ | OK, I'll see that I can give it a try tomorrow. Is there a way to get completely rid of a flatpak one has installed? | 18:07:29 |
| Nico Alt | izzy_: You can uninstall it with flatpak uninstall org.fdroid.Repomaker and do something like apt autoremove with flatpak uninstall --unneeded.
Specifically for Repomaker, to delete all data you also need to rm ~/.local/share/repomaker where all the local and remote repos are stored. | 18:24:14 |
| izzy_ | Nico Alt: Thanks! | 18:45:18 |
| izzy_ | Sounds easy enough :) | 18:47:26 |

 _hc | Marcus (BubuIIC): uniq I just had a thought: we could convert schweiger to being the VirtualBox-only test box. | 20:16:35 |
| _hc | Since the gcc boxes run | 20:16:36 |
| _hc | KVM on the bare metal, they can't run VirtualBox | 20:16:49 |
 uniq | could be very useful :) | 20:17:26 |
| _hc | that's why we have such hardware :-D | 20:19:55 |
| _hc | it should be online reliably these days, if anyone wants to convert it | 20:24:06 |
| _hc | Nico Alt: izzy_ FYI, to instlal flatpak on ElementaryOS (Ubuntu fork) I had to add a PPA, manually add flathub, then do flatpak install flathub org.fdroid.Repomaker | 20:41:06 |
| _hc | ok, wierd, you have to do flatpak run org.fdroid.Repomaker | 20:59:15 |

| izzy_ | _hc: the latter to start Repomaker? Didn't it create a start entry in the menu? I've been told Flatpak would do that. | 21:06:24 |
| _hc | right, nothing in the applications menu. but this is elementary so not the largest distro | 21:13:01 |

| izzy_ | still, good to know and worth mentioning in the article. | 14:38:51 |
 Marcus (old) | _hc: my gitlab runner disappeared... | 16:03:59 |
| Marcus (old) | same for the main repo one | 16:06:42 |
