[Linux] Flatpak preparations

[flavioislima]

Flatpak builds to be, ideally, published to Flathub.

Any Update here?

There should be:
- --socker=wayland
In flatpak/org.heroic.yml
Don't miss that

[flavioislima]

Any Update here?

So far: Heroic opens and I can Login, but it get stuck on the listing games part. I'm not sure if in a flatpak container Heroic will be able to execute legendary, it seems that is the issue but I need to investigate more.

Why not just compile legendary and bundle it with the application?

It's against the rules of Flathub

Really? Didn't know that and Heroic already bundles the legendary binary.
So we would need to add it as a dependency to be downloaded during the installation or legendary would need to be on flathub for us to do some kind of integration?

[JakobDev]

Flathub does not allow the use of pip install during instalations. The use of a network connection is not allowed during build I already ask for some of my Apps. You have to include all the whole dependency tree in the manifest. It's a lot of fun for me (not) to figure out how to build Qt from source or to figure out, why a build system that I never heard of before is not working during a Fltpak build.

Luckily for you, legendary depends only on requests, which is no problem to include in a Flatpak. More Luckily for you, there is already a person who has a legendary Flatpak, but without working wine yet. You should try to contact him.

@flavioislima
Why not open a pr on flathub?
Flathub's people can help you there.

Yes, good idea. We have a post on flathub forum but no one answered there yet.
I'll make more tests and will open a PR there.

Hey guys!
I finally could fix the issues with the build (wrong config path, etc).
most of the things are working now except launching games (wine issue)
But before opening a PR on Flathub can you guys take a look one more time if something can be improved?

Thanks :D

I'll take a look at it this weekend. Do legendary logs work now?

Yes, I can see the output on the log screen now.

Nice 😎

Just an update: I've made some tests but legendary keep crashing. I'm trying to use legendary as flatpak to understand if it's a heroic problem or legendary one.

That's weird. can you see any log of those crashes?
can you try removing the .config/legendary and .config/heroic folders under .var/app/org.hgl.heroic/config/ ?

I had some permission overrides from old tests. After cleaning up everything including the configuration files, I am no longer able to log in via Epic.

Legendary logs says I'm logged in:

(19:16:12) INFO:    [Legendary]:       finished login
(19:16:12) INFO:    [Frontend]:        Refreshing Library
(19:16:12) INFO:    [Legendary]:       Refreshing library...
(19:16:12) INFO:    [Frontend]:        No cache found, getting data from legendary...
(19:16:12) INFO:    [Legendary]:       Refreshing library...

but Heroic keep ask for login. There are other files I should clean? I've also performed a full reset from Heroic.
