Build 0.20 from master

[hfiguiere]

This was to test some changes from upstream to see if we needed to adapt the flatpak.

This is not to provide nightly build: it is pinned to a revision that will always leed to the same result.

This is solely for testing

nice. Quick feedback, wasn't able to invoke it from the CLI. Needed to pull up my KDE Plasma start menu to find it.

what did you do on the CLI? freecad won't just work.

flatpak run org.freecadweb.FreeCAD//test is the proper one. (//test is for this test build)

[luzpaz]

Is the repo maintainer the only user able to trigger this build?

[hfiguiere]

the build hasn't expired yet.

[luzpaz]

What i mean is, could I trigger a build like this as well?

Yes, just create a new comment with the content bot, build here in the PR

[luzpaz]

is there a way to have these built with the cadence of the appimage weeklies? or what is the plan for this flatpak beta channel? not a fan of managing appimages.

[hfiguiere]

no plan.

What I did in the past is use the same revision than what was available on github for the "pre release" but these aren't available, and it was manual work since I needed to guess what was the revision based on the build number.

If someone want to add the GitHub action to FreeCAD upstream to build it, that could be the solution, granted it would have to be accepted.

Flathub, per policy, is not to deliver nightlies. And if you were expecting to have a newer build by triggering it, I'm sorry, you'll be disappointed.

i dont really want nightlies tbh. i like the idea of sunday builds like the appimages are built.

so if i was to run the build bot in here again tomorrow after changes to master, it wouldnt be any different than the previous build above in #52 (comment)?

[hfiguiere]

it wouldn't be different. It builds from commit 1653d26ffa0b35d57fc3325c18bf5b7bad515703

Same problem.

[hfiguiere]

Closed with #60

I know this is old but can you elaborate on this? Do you mean to build the flatpak on github and publish on flathub or how would this work?

[hfiguiere]

There is a GitHub action to build flatpak packages. So if you want nightlies build on github, you could do that on the FreeCAD github project. AFAIK it even cache the build so you don't have to rebuild all the dependencies all the time (ie it build faster)

Flathub is NOT for nightly builds.

[hfiguiere]

I think that's the github action you are looking for
