Install flatpak base images and create rpm specs and tar archives

Build the container for installing flatpak base images:

make docker-base

Example:

# Check for necessary updates
% perl scripts/flatpak-check-updates.pl
→ org.freedesktop.Platform can be updated (v20.08.3 -> v20.08.5)
→ org.freedesktop.Sdk can be updated (v20.08.3 -> v20.08.5)
✓ org.gnome.Platform is uptodate (v3.38)
✓ org.gnome.Sdk is uptodate (v3.38)
✓ org.kde.Platform is uptodate (v5.15)
✓ org.kde.Sdk is uptodate (v5.15)

# Checkout OBS:Flatpak
% cd ~/osc
# Warning! Needs 11G disk space (currently)
% osc co OBS:Flatpak

# Update org.freedesktop.Sdk
# Install a runtime in docker environment and create tarballs under `output/`
# Use '20.08' (the flatpak branch name), not the full version
% scripts/flatpak-call-install.sh runtime/org.freedesktop.Sdk/x86_64/20.08
# Create spec files from tarballs under `osc/package-name/`
% perl scripts/flatpak-spec.pl org.freedesktop.Sdk
# Then move the resulting files in the `osc/` directories to your osc checkout
% rsync -a osc/org.* ~/osc/OBS:Flatpak/
# Remove generated files
% rm -rf osc/org.*

# Update org.freedesktop.Platform
% scripts/flatpak-call-install.sh runtime/org.freedesktop.Platform/x86_64/20.08
% perl scripts/flatpak-spec.pl org.freedesktop.Platform
% rsync -a osc/org.* ~/osc/OBS:Flatpak/
% rm -rf osc/org.*

# Commit the updated OBS packages
% cd ~/osc/OBS:Flatpak/
# look for updated packages and commit

Requirements

• bash
• perl >= 5.22
• perl-YAML-PP
• perl-Getopt-Long-Descriptive
• perl-XML-LibXML

The flatpak commands are running in a docker container, so you only need docker for that, but the perl scripts run on your machine.

For trying out building apps in docker:

make docker-builder

Note that you have to run docker with the --privileged option.
