We just don't build or serve flatpak-kde-runtime, only applications.

I have created a pull request there with a build of Elisa from published 
tarballs and fixed commits.

Runtimes and applications are separated, you download a runtime for multiple 
applications. As for KDE runtime, it is build and hosted on flathub so 
everyone installing a Qt/KDE app dowloads the runtime from Flathub directly, 
not from our servers where we host KDE Applications.

Just curious - does this mean every download from Flathub for a KDE
application hits flatpak-kde-runtime, or is that a one-off hit when
the bundle is generated and uploaded to Flathub?

flatpak-kde-runtime is used for flathub stable releases,
flatpak-kde-applications isn't.

As for your application, I would say the quickest way to go is flathub
at this moment.

I would strongly encourage it. Flathub is quickly becoming the de facto source 
for Flatpak apps, and all of GNOME’s apps are already there. It would be great 
to get some more KDE representation there too.

Flatpak packaging for stable releases

[Matthieu Gallien]

Hello,

I really appreciate the work that has gone into flatpak and the excellent 
support for it in KDE and the KDE infrastructure for it.

I have an hard time understanding what is the best way to distribute a stable 
release through flatpak.

I am not sure if the KDE flatpak repositories are supposed to also be used for 
stable releases.

I have seen a few KDE applications being also hosted on flathub. Is this the 
way to go ?

Best regards
