I’m here at the gnome Developer Experience Hackfest in Brussels working on xdg-app. Just before I left I created a runtime for Gnome based on whatever is in git master. Now we’ve started to create app bundles for the gnome applications.
I’ve added builds of evince, gedit, gnome-builder, and maps. Cosimo has added Weather, and clocks and Alberto added gnome-calculator. The build manifests for these are in my github repo, and I have set up an automatic build of these (and the SDK).
Unfortunately the build machine is way underpowered, so its not yet useful for public consumption. I’m working on getting this to build on the gnome build machines, which means people can start testing the latest builds of gnome apps on any distros.
I’ve also been working with Simon to fix various issues that he’s seeing while packaging xdg-app for debian.
On to building more apps!
Thanks to the gnome foundation for sponsoring this trip, and arranging the hackfest.
Cool!!
