Flatpak package
I created the flatpak package for gImageReader. https://github.com/scx/gimagereader-flatpak (Gtk+3/Qt5) https://github.com/scx/gimagereader-flatpak/tree/qt5 (Qt5) https://github.com/scx/gimagereader-flatpak/tree/gtk3 (Gtk+3)
I am in the process of submitting it to the Flathub repo. https://github.com/flathub/flathub/pull/810 https://github.com/scx/flathub/tree/com.github.manisandro.gImageReader-qt5
It would be nice if the author decided to participate in the further development of this flatpak package.
Thank you for working on this! I haven't yet looked in depth at flatpack, so currently I'm not really able to partecipate, but if there are specific issues, I'm happy to help as time allows.
The gtk variant is here: https://github.com/flathub/flathub/pull/842 https://github.com/scx/flathub/tree/com.github.manisandro.gImageReader-gtk
@manisandro Since it's merged, it would be nice if you add a download badge (https://flathub.org/badges) or so to this repo
@proletarius101: The FlatHub page displays old version info (see https://github.com/flathub/io.github.manisandro.gImageReader/issues/7)... why is that?
The version in that page is extracted from the AppStream Metadata file produced in the build process, instead of the actual git tag name. Do you know if the produced .metainfo.xml contains the correct version information?
Do you know if the produced .metainfo.xml contains the correct version information?
I'm really not familiar with Flatpak internals. I tried to locate the appstream metadata of the installed gImageReader Flatpak and, if I'm not mistaken, it's found under /var/lib/flatpak/app/io.github.manisandro.gImageReader/current/active/export/share/metainfo/io.github.manisandro.gImageReader.appdata.xml, right?
That file contains the same outdated info as is found on FlatHub:

The gImageReader metadata found in /var/lib/flatpak/appstream/flathub/x86_64/active/appstream.xml (this is locally cached FlatHub metadata I suppose?) also contains the outdated info.
The metadata seems to be generated from https://github.com/manisandro/gImageReader/blob/ca4bd9d4e066ea03b74ee86396afebee192c4d8e/data/gimagereader.appdata.xml.in#L67
so @PACKAGE_VERSION@ and @PACKAGE_ISO_DATE@ somehow get resolved to the outdated info during the Flatpak build process, I suppose...
Do you know if the produced .metainfo.xml contains the correct version information?

Yes. But the in flatpak it's generated exactly the same way. Can you confirm whether in traditional packages the metainfo file contains the latest
Yes. But the in flatpak it's generated exactly the same way. Can you confirm whether in traditional packages the metainfo file contains the latest tag? Maybe the version generation script has some bugs.
Your suspicion seems correct. The latest DEB package for Ubuntu 22.04 (jammy) from the ppa:sandromani/gimagereader repo ships the same outdated metadata (found in /usr/share/metainfo/gimagereader-gtk.appdata.xml after installation).
@manisandro It would be nice if you can release a new version, as in the latest tagged version, the metainfo file has not been updated to satisfy the requirements of Flathub.
I've tagged v3.4.2. Closing this ticket as I believe there is nothing more to be done? Many thanks @proletarius101 for your work on the flatpack build!

Yes it works. Thanks
