Make a flatpak release
For now, there is no way to install this software on Ubuntu 21.04 and it's derivatives, such as Pop! Os. Flatpak is already almost a standard of publishing apps. Such distribution method will allow to focus on updates, not preparing releases for new versions of OS's. Also, it's possible to create own flatpak repo, if Flafhub is not trusted.
Thank you for the proposal. We have added analysis of the ID-software packaging options (Snap, Flatpak, Appimage) in our roadmap to provide better support across Linux distributions (planned to begin at the end of this year).
It's worth considering that Flatpak is the most common between distributions, it would allow to cover more distributions than just Ubuntu (and deriv.) with its Snap.
Appimages are annoying to keep up-to-date, not a very good approach for security-related software.
I would also say that even without ID-card support (no pcscd etc.) DigiDoc 4 would be useful for just viewing and mID-based signing/encryption.
We appreciate the feedback.
We do try to consider all users feedback in our ID-software packaging analysis.
@ilyachch Some dude from Estonia already done this.https://github.com/oskarkook/qdigidoc-flatpak
Official development team needs another year to ride on tax payers. Absolute clowns, can't even write basic tests. DDC4 is broken cross distro, yikes!
this feature should also include autopublishing new stable releases to Flathub, so ppl would have autoupdates
can you do it for 4 billion €? :dagger: :laughing:
