Flatpak packaging PoC

[tinywrkb]

This is not a feature request, I'm just sharing my Flatpak manifest for wlvncc.
Being able to decouple the app from the system is pretty neat, especially due to the fact wlvncc is still in development and it might require unstable versions of libs that conflict with the already installed stable libs.

Note that both commit and branch are set in order to catch new commits on rebuilds so build will fail when there are new commits.
Prerequisites are flatpak-builder and the org.freedesktop.Sdk//20.08 runtime installed.

$ flatpak install flathub org.freedesktop.Sdk//20.08

To build and install just run something like:

$ export wrkdir=$PWD/wrkdir # or anywhere else
$ flatpak-builder \
  --install \
  --ccache \
  --user \
  --force-clean \
  --state-dir=${wrkdir}/flatpak-builder \
  --repo=${wrkdir}/flatpak-repo  \
  ${wrkdir}/flatpak-target \
  com.github.any1.wlvncc.yaml

And then run with $ com.github.any1.wlvncc ... or something like

$ flatpak run --user com.github.any1.wlvncc ...
$ flatpak run --user --devel --command=sh com.github.any1.wlvncc

Thanks! Luckily GitHub added a new "Discussions" feature where we can move this.

I posted a packaged Flatpak bundle if anyone wants to test this and is too lazy to build.
Just download the file and install the package with your package manager (Gnome Software? KDE Discover?) or from the command-line like this:

$ flatpak --user install com.github.any1.wlvncc.r43.1ca82ce.flatpak

https://github.com/tinywrkb/flatpaks/releases/tag/wlvncc-r43.1ca82ce

Perhaps I ought to mention that if wlvncc is compiled with libvncserver and aml as subprojects, they will be statically linked into the binary.

Oh, that's nice, I didn't notice this.
