This article will aim to explain the procedure of converting RPMs to Flatpak applications
Fedora Flatpaks is a remote that reuses RPMs to make these RPMs work in a Flatpak environment. Since the Fedora Project includes some tools to convert RPMs to Flatpak-compatible formats, AKA manifests, it is entirely possible to turn an RPM application, like Firefox, into a Flatpak application.
This is supposed to be part 3 of the Fedora Flatpaks 2 series.

Plan: - Change install path (Modularity project) - Create manifests - Create OCI containers - Publish to registry.fedoraproject.org

hey @theevilskeleton how is this article coming?
@glb sorry, I wasn't notified. I'm doing some research so I can continue writing the article.
@glb can you add this article to the series?
Hi @theevilskeleton:
We prefer to add the articles to the series at the time of publication because doing so creates a link to the article on the live site (in the sidebar of the other already-published articles). If the article isn't published yet, then it shows up as a broken link on the site.
The best way to handle this is probably to mark the metadata on this card with a "needs-series" tag.
Thanks.
Can you add the tag please? I can't figure it out.
