#89 Part 3: How RPMs are converted to Flatpak applications
Opened 3 years ago by theevilskeleton. Modified 3 years ago

Article Summary:

This article will aim to explain the procedure of converting RPMs to Flatpak applications

Article Description:

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.

https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/how-rpms-are-converted-to-flatpak-applications/36824

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.
