@Asciiwolf, Personally I would prefer such a large change (229 additions and 37 deletions across 28 files) to be approved by upstream - especially as this is going into a LTS release. As it is not always clear what other behaviour this may change or break.
I understand that this is the patch that Endless are using in their distro, but I would need to understand how the flatpak plugin works before I would be able to make a decision. Ultimately to get this change into Ubuntu it would need to be approved by Robert Ancell, so maybe Robert is the one who can advise if we should require upstream approval or if it is OK to distro patch. As this is quite an important fix for trying to use flatpak with a GUI in bionic. I am happy to help with the SRU process and submitting the patches to the Ubuntu gnome-software git etc, I just feel I don't have enough knowledge of gnome-software's code to state if this is an OK change to carry. (... or maybe we just need to wait until gnome-software is a flatpak/snap/appimage ;-) then we can magically get 3.30 :-) ) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1754864 Title: Flatpak runtime extensions are not installed when using GNOME Software on Ubuntu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1754864/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
