@nico:f-droid.orgNico 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:f-droid.orgNico 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
@freenode_izzy_:matrix.orgizzy_ 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:f-droid.orgNico Alt izzy_: If you encounter any problems, feel free to ping me and I'll try to help! 14:14:39
@freenode_izzy_:matrix.orgizzy_ 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
@freenode_izzy_:matrix.orgizzy_Is it already available vie Flahub, or do I need to download it somewhere?14:23:39
@nico:f-droid.orgNico AltNo, not yet. But chances are good that it could happen today.14:25:49
@nico:f-droid.orgNico Alt izzy_: We've made it: https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.fdroid.Repomaker 17:25:41
@freenode_izzy_:matrix.orgizzy_ Nico Alt: \o/ 18:06:48
@freenode_izzy_:matrix.orgizzy_ 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:f-droid.orgNico 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.

@freenode_izzy_:matrix.orgizzy_ Nico Alt: Thanks! 18:45:18
@freenode_izzy_:matrix.orgizzy_Sounds easy enough :)18:47:26

@eighthave:matrix.org_hc Marcus (BubuIIC): uniq I just had a thought: we could convert schweiger to being the VirtualBox-only test box. 20:16:35
@eighthave:matrix.org_hcSince the gcc boxes run20:16:36
@eighthave:matrix.org_hcKVM on the bare metal, they can't run VirtualBox20:16:49
@uniq:matrix.orguniqcould be very useful :)20:17:26
@eighthave:matrix.org_hcthat's why we have such hardware :-D20:19:55
@eighthave:matrix.org_hcit should be online reliably these days, if anyone wants to convert it20:24:06
@eighthave:matrix.org_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
@eighthave:matrix.org_hc ok, wierd, you have to do flatpak run org.fdroid.Repomaker 20:59:15
@freenode_Tovok7:matrix.orgTovok7 joined the room.20:59:20
@freenode_izzy_:matrix.orgizzy_ _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
@eighthave:matrix.org_hcright, nothing in the applications menu. but this is elementary so not the largest distro21:13:01

@freenode_izzy_:matrix.orgizzy_still, good to know and worth mentioning in the article.14:38:51
