[biji]

Would you please create flatpak distribution for openshot?
I've tried openshot in fedora 24, but crashes

thanks

Flatpak will be good. Any info about flatpak release?

@muayyad-alsadi @feri777 - Someone already opened a ticket for it:
https://github.com/flathub/flathub/pull/233

I think its waiting on a newer version of Flatpak to be released to distributions but it looks like its progressing.

OpenShot is now available on Flathub:
https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.openshot.OpenShot

build manifest:
https://github.com/flathub/org.openshot.OpenShot

You will need at least flatpak version 0.11.4 to have it work correctly.

If you want to build and test this flatpak locally:

$ git clone https://github.com/flathub/org.openshot.OpenShot
$ cd org.openshot.OpenShot
$ flatpak-builder --install --ccache build_dir org.openshot.OpenShot.json
$ flatpak run org.openshot.OpenShot

Bravo Mr. @eszlari! Hope you keep on updating it. :) v2.4.2 is in string freeze period right now and we hope that it will soon be released. :)

Is there a problem if you guys indicate on the openshot page, the link to openshot flathub? It would be great if you can refer to the flatpak package from the official website. In the download for linux we could see appimage and flatpak, as available, stating, if you wish, that this package is not an official openshot.
Could you guys do it?

[DylanC]

@Lvaskz - That would be great actually! Good idea. I will ask the guys to do it.

[Lvaskz]

Cool!!!!

Closing as resolved.

Yes, we should probably pay attention to that in our next release - about pointing to the flatpak distribution in the webpage.
