Flatpak Builder Tools

This repository contains a collection of community-contributed scripts designed to assist with building applications, without network access, using Flatpak Builder.

The primary purpose of these scripts is to generate a Flatpak Builder source or module manifests that can be included in the main Flatpak Builder manifest.

Please refer to the individual tool subdirectories for documentation, usage information, and licensing details.

Contributions and new tool submissions are welcome!

Any tool proposed for inclusion must demonstrate a verifiable use in building a Flatpak package. Submissions must also include appropriate CI coverage, including formatting, linting, validation, and testing as appropriate for the language being used to implement the tool.

Anyone wishing to submit or maintain a tool in this repository must add themselves to the CODEOWNERS file. Once added, they will be granted the appropriate permissions. Requests to become a maintainer of an existing tool require a prior history of contributions and approval from the current CODEOWNER(s) responsible for that tool.

Please open an issue in this repository for maintainer access.

Please note that some tools here are unmaintained and kept only for historical reasons. These are marked with a warning label in their respective README file.

Contributing guidelines

Please refer to the tool subdirectory for guidelines specific to the tool if any.

• Commits should be prefixed by the tool it is modifying. As an example changes to the node generator should be prefixed by node: and changes to the cargo generator should be prefixed by cargo:. This is not a hard requirement but it is advisable to follow this convention.
