What’s the point of having your own flatpak repo when the whole point of flatpak is that it doesn’t matter what distro you have, you get access to all apps? Especially when that repo has like a quarter of the apps on flathub.
What’s worse is that flathub isn’t even enabled by default (at least on Fedora KDE)
All Fedora variants come with only the Fedora flatpak repo enabled by default.
I understand the concept: have a curated repository with well tested, compatible and virus-free software for the users.
In practice, it's not working well. Not enough maintainers, not enough time. There is already the RPM repo to maintain. I have recently faced issue with the flatpak for PrusaSlicer, being outdated and crashing from the Fedora repo.
If not enabled by default, Fedora should have flathub listed as a extra repo source and make it a one click to activate. Maybe it's the case like that already? Last time I installed a fresh Fedora, I had to add flathub via the terminal. This was already a long while back.
Kind of an odd and short article. Gives a decent rundown for OBS's complaint but doesn't even attempt to explain why the Fedora devs would be resistant to fixing a borked package.
