Summary: Fedora flatpak for this app on
registry.fedoraproject.org
Product: Fedora
Version: rawhide
Status: NEW
Component: fontforge

Target Milestone: ---
Classification: Fedora
It would be great if you could provide a flatpak package of this app to
https://registry.fedoraproject.org/.
Especially for users of Fedora Silverblue
https://silverblue.fedoraproject.org/
this then allows a seamless installation and upgrades without rebooting the
system (just restarting the application).
Additionally, flatpaks can of course be installed on any distro, so also
non-Fedora users could use it too.

I know this app is available on Flathub as a flatpak, but I still prefer
Fedora's package testing/QA etc., that's why I'd also like to have a version
on
https://registry.fedoraproject.org/. Also Flathub is a third-party source from
the Fedora users/projects viewpoint, so I guess some users would not like to
use third-party app sources.
However, the fact that it is on Flathub should make it easier for you to
implement this, because you can have a look on how they do it. (Not that you
need to do everything in the same way, but it proves it is possible to package
as a flatpak, at least.)
