Official FlatPak release for Processing IDE

[zWhdmB5T]

Dear all,

there is a Processing IDE FlatPak available. Unfortunately, it is not officially maintained like others (e.g. Firefox FlatPak, LibreOffice FlatPak or digiKam FlatPak).

I would appreciate that very much. I expect high security as well as an up-to-date release (including all used libraries and such) of an official package.

Thank you!

Because one could counter that the examples of officially maintained FlatPaks mentioned above are not community driven (i.e. a single persons or just a few ones) but maintained by an organisation resp. a company, here are other examples:

• KeePassXC (community)
• Strawberry Music Player (solo)
• fre:ac (solo)
• FSearch (solo)
• Qalculate! (GTK UI) (solo)
• Metadata Cleaner (solo)

Hi @zWhdmB5T and thanks for your suggestion. We'd love to include an official Flathub package to our release process.

I have created an issue on the existing repo last week, suggesting making their release the official one.

If we don't hear back, I'll try emailing some of the maintainers.

Appreciated!

@Stefterv and I revisited the topic of Linux distribution during Libre Graphics Meeting this week. It seems that offering a Flatpak release alongside other options would be useful for a number of users. I'm reopening this issue for further discussion.
