Before opening a feature request

  • I checked the next branch to see if the feature has already been implemented
  • I searched existing reports to see if it is already requested.

What is the user problem or growth opportunity you want to see solved?

can you please pack rofi into flatpak

How do you know that this problem exists today? Why is this important?

  • with flaptaks there are no dependencies problems
  • flatpaks works same in all distros
  • if you providing flatpak builds, there are no need to build binaries for every single distro
  • flatpaks are main way to install apps on atomic distros, like fedora atomic, vanilla os, and steam os

Who will benefit from it?

me and all users of atomic distros

Rofi version (rofi -v)

any

Configuration

any

I am a maintainer of one such atomic distro, and I am not sure whether the flatpak is a good idea. Isn’t rofi exactly the tool which should be installed on the host system?

it can be installed wherever you want it to be installed

it can be installed on host system, and also can be installed as flatpak

the difficulty is in building flatpak, maintaining it, and allow it to see desktop entiries outside flatpak sandbox

it's hard but it's possible
