flatpak-builder version
1.2.2
Flatpak version
1.12.7
How to reproduce
- Use GNOME or KDE SDK
- Add and extension to the manifest (rust-stable will work). Make sure it is NOT installed
- Run flatpak-builder
Expected Behavior
It offer to install the matching SDK extension, guessing the proper version, GNOME 43 -> version 22.08
Actual Behavior
It tells me it cant find the SDK extension version 43
Additional Information
The version is in the extension point of the SDK/Runtime.
#469 show we can't specify the SDK extension with a tuple (id//version) that could be an ok workaround
If the right SDK extension is already installed there is no problem.
This just sounds like a new feature. It doesn't really "guess" anything. It just defaults to the same version as the runtime.
From a user standpoint it's a bug.
I don't know how feasible that is, but the determination of the version of the extension can be made by checking the extension point for the version property.
A possible option (from my perspective) would be to have a version specified in the manifest:
"sdk-extensions": [
"org.freedesktop.Sdk.Extension.rust-stable//23.08"
],
