I took a look at MyPaints flatpak file on GitHub and adapted it for chirp. It's **very** rough around the edges (theme, icons, desktop shortcut, no /dev/try access, outdated gtk runtime, no network access) but the GUI comes up!<br>

I'm happy to help collaborate but I'm a horrible maintainer of things. But maybe that's the easy part now that the baseline json is fleshed out?<br>

<div dir="ltr">As a stop gap measure I have created a COPR for chirp with the missing python2 requirements.

<div>I have built chirp for Fedora 32, Fedora Rawhide, and EL 8.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>One of the dependencies is libxml2 which is a C library with python bindings. Hopefully it doesn't cause any issues with the Fedora version but I'll have to stay on top of any updates to the Fedora version.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This a very much a less than ideal situation but I haven't found a better one. I tried setting up a flatpak but gave up. The documentation is too poor and trying to write JSON is an exercise in frustration. </div>
