Read ADR 0018 and ADR 0008, then inspect the Devel manifest at linux/build-aux/flatpak/app.tablepro.TablePro.Devel.json and the packaging section of linux/ROADMAP.md. The work requires writing a Flathub manifest, preparing and submitting two exception requests, and deciding how the app behaves if home access is refused. Done means the app installs through GNOME Software on a non-Ubuntu, non-Fedora distribution and receives updates from Flathub.

Description

enhancement platform-linux
Problem

The first Linux release ships through two channels: a Launchpad PPA for Ubuntu 26.04 and 26.10, and a COPR project for Fedora 44 and later (linux/docs/decisions/0018-ppa-copr-and-flathub-later.md). Anyone on Debian, openSUSE, Arch, an immutable Fedora variant or another distribution has to build from source: ADR 0018, Consequences, says "Users of other distributions build from source until Flathub has the app", and linux/README.md, Install, says the same.

What exists today:

  • A Devel Flatpak manifest on GNOME 51, linux/build-aux/flatpak/app.tablepro.TablePro.Devel.json, built for x86_64 and aarch64 and linted on every pull request that touches linux/ (linux/ROADMAP.md, Packaging and platform).
  • The sandbox grants and the reason for each, in linux/docs/decisions/0008-flatpak-sandbox-permissions.md, with two expected linter findings in linux/build-aux/flatpak/lint-exceptions.json.
  • Metainfo with screenshots fetched from the release tag (linux/README.md, Screenshots).

There is no Flathub manifest, on purpose. linux/ROADMAP.md, Backlog, Release and project, lists the work: "Write the Flathub manifest and the exception request by hand, and submit them."

Proposed solution
  • A maintainer writes the Flathub manifest for app.tablepro.TablePro by hand, as ADR 0018 records, building from a release's source and vendor tarballs on the runtime Flathub requires for a new app (GNOME 51 since 2026-09-16, per ADR 0018).
  • A maintainer writes and sends the request for the two exceptions ADR 0008 names, finish-args-home-filesystem-access and finish-args-has-socket-ssh-auth, with the reasons that ADR gives.
  • Decide before submitting what happens if the home exception is refused. ADR 0018 says the Flatpak would then lose in-place SQLite files outside the folders a portal hands over, and ADR 0008 changes with it.
  • Once Flathub lists the app, linux/README.md, Install, gains the flatpak install line, and the "build from source until Flathub" sentence goes.

Done means: TablePro installs from Flathub through GNOME Software on a distribution that is neither Ubuntu nor Fedora, and gets its updates there.

Alternatives considered

Build from source with linux/README.md, Quickstart, or build the Devel Flatpak locally from the repository's manifest. Snap and AppImage were considered and turned down in ADR 0018.
