Re: [Ring] About a flatpak package

[Aditya Shah]

I have been trying get the flatpak of ring, but I am failing to compile dbus-c++ inside flatpak... as it is not a part of any of the available runtimes

I will try packaging ring, though no promises as this is my first app. Also as far as problems is concerned, we don't really need to package ring for every distribution, just packaging a flatpak should work on all distributions, this will reduce distribution delays. Containerization is obviously a plus.

From the website - flatpack.org - they write that flatpak'ed applications can run in a sandbox.
That's the major improvement for Ring itself.

@Aditya: I hope that the Stepan's list help you to go ahead. let us know your progress. thanks.
