Is the flatpak dead (no longer supported)
Closed this issue · 9 comments
Just thought i'd ask since it's still in flathub but hasn't been updated in like...forever.
Yes, this flatpak is not in good shape. I've been checking in the flatpak matrix channel for someone to take over maintainership, but there is currently no process to find new maintainers beyond "just let us know when someone wants to pick it up".
I stopped using parsec a while ago. Maybe someone who is more active wants to pick things up.
I wanted to get parsec working on steam deck but it's not possible via flatpack, the manifest size it out of whack with the extra package sizes all users get is this error:
Error: Wrong size for extra data https://builds.parsecgaming.com/package/parsec-linux.deb
error: Failed to install com.parsecgaming.parsec: Wrong size for extra data https://builds.parsecgaming.com/package/parsec-linux.deb
Peeps can't even try out an old version :(
The most recent build failed due to a server-side error with flathub https://buildbot.flathub.org/#/builders/6/builds/110470

any way for us to resolve this?
For now, you can clone the repo and build it locally using flatpak-builder. https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/first-build.html
This doesn't fix Flathub's issue, but you'll at least be able to install the latest build.
I just triggered a new build today. I can't really test it these days, so if this already fixed the problem, thats' great, otherwise someone needs to dig into this.

Perfect, it works now, thank you!
