Openage: Flatpak build

[LeandroStanger]

Please, consider supporting Flatpak and publishing Openage on Flathub.

As you can see here, Flatpak has better support in major distros then Snap.

as the tag says, just do it! :)
I've forked our repo to https://github.com/SFTtech/flathub/tree/new-pr where somebody interested in creating the app-submission should add the required files so we can pull-request them upstream then.

The app-id is likely lol.sfttech.openage.
More info is here: http://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/building.html

Regarding flatpak packages:

A libre replacement for Steam uses flatpak packages to organise games as steam does with it's library. Having packages on flathub is the requirement to get into their library.

I originally created #1322 , but since it's Debian/Ubuntu and clones related, doing Flatpak would have much bigger reach for Linux distributions...

So, if there is here anyone not yet convinced with flatpak skills, please consider creating flatpak build. Also I'm willing tip $ 10 for continuous & release flatpak build.

@TheJJ appid should be still lol.sfttech.openage or mx.sft.openage?

[TheJJ]

good idea, i'd prefer the lol domain since it can do dnssec and is funnier. heh.

Ok, I'll use lol.sfttech.openage. If you have control over the domain, would be nice if you can make https://openage.sfttech.lol redirect to openage.sft.mx :+1:
