Hi folks, I've installed flatpak to get easy access to apps that I do not find natively in my favorite french linux distro: Mageia. See #914 for an old request on this topic. I believe it would be easy now to automatize the process of publishing new releases on flatpak. On the user side, it seems to make GDL just a click away, and all in userspace. This could help spread gdl. But probably there will be a loss of speed.

but we will need a better logo, as gdl is absolutely not a fractal-creation tool. 😄

this might help: https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak-github-actions

looking into that. One needs to make a 'manifest', i.e., the (only) yml file needed to compile etc GDL with flatpak. This manifest should more or less follow the main.yml commands for the linux rebuild (i.e., build_gdl.sh for linux). Example to do it in https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/first-build.html. Once this manifest works on your computer it should be a piece of cake to have it run using the github actions pointed above by @slayoo. So, help wanted.
