Ungoogled-chromium: Flatpak package

Created on 7 Apr 2019  路  4Comments  路  Source: Eloston/ungoogled-chromium

I know you already covered this section but I want to ask again if you could do a flatpak package.
I think it would be one of the bets things to do because it is self contained you can push update and mostly every distro has Flatpak's support. Very easy to use. I am not a Developer but it seems not to difficult to build chromium flatpak.

I would prefer a flatpak over an appimage and be able to get updates through Linux Mint software manager.

Who needs this? flatpak is totally useless.

It depends on your usage. On not so popular distros with not many packages it is very useful. You can instantly push updates and the bugs are the same on every distro so you don't have to make bugfxing for every binary. Nowadays many packages aren't even in normal repositorys and only distributed with flatpaks/snaps. Only because you don't use it it isn't useless for othersyping errors

I don't mind if a Flatpak version is made. Maybe we could add some scripts to ungoogled-chromium-portablelinux to create Flatpak packages.

To anyone that is interested, feel free to submit a PR (or an issue to discuss design decisions if necessary).
