Hello, I want to create Flatpak for 3D Slicer. Flatpak is a packaging and distributing desktop software on Linux. https://www.flatpak.org/ I would like it to be submit to Flathub, an app store for Flatpak apps. Many Linux distros supported Flatpak. So I think it would be beneficial to package la…

@Andythe_great @RafaelPalomar where would you like to maintain the project progress and comunication?

I have been thinking about how we might approach this case. It seems to me that while we try to solve the superbuild issue in Slicer, which doesn’t work, we could adapt the configuration files and download the dependencies through several scripts launched from a main one. This way we do not force c…

I have created this repo and given @luarpy full access [image] RafaelPalomar/Slicer-Flatpak Flatpak for 3D Slicer. Contribute to RafaelPalomar/Slicer-Flatpak development by creating an account on GitHub. As there are still some uncertainties related to the d…

[image] luarpy: we could adapt the configuration files and download the dependencies through several scripts launched from a main one I have quickly scanned the Flatpak documentation and found this info about bundled dependencies ( Dependencies — Flatpak documentation ): As will be seen, bundl…

Yesterday I was preparing some of the main files: manifest.yaml (also the one made by @Andythe_great ), icon image and *.destkop file. All according to flatpak format. So I can do a push to start with something. I also have a script I was preparing to automate the configuration process prior to pack…

@luarpy , this is great. [image] luarpy: On the subject of what you indicate, I also read it but I did not understand how or what is meant by these libraries. I would have liked to find an example showing how to indicate the libraries to download. Here is a ChatGPT-generated manifest bundling…

It is the most unexpected answer possible hahahahahaha :rofl:. It seems to be fine but needs some changes. I wrote it in YAML because it allows to add comments to the document. This is what I wrote based in the documentation of flatpak and using the Weasis Flatpak project as an example: app-id: or…

A good mix of the two is a good start. Would you mind to make it a PR so I can give it a shot? As I see the problem now we can go a long way by translating the SystoleOS packages to this yaml representation.

UPDATE: Based on the discussion held on 2023.02.07 Weekly Meeting with the Slicer core devs, it seems reasonable to try approaching the Slicer flatpak under a superbuild approach rather than a non-superbuild as I initially proposed. Reasons: (1) some of the SystoleOS patches may take time to land o…

It is great to see all the progress with the build. I can help with runtime questions. More specifically: what folders can be read-only and what temporary and persistent writable folders we need for application settings, extensions, Python packages, DICOM database, cached downloads, etc.
