<p>Also, note that whatever Freedesktop SDK last shipped Python2
will eventually be EOL. I don't know what this means. Not sure if
it eventually gets removed from Flathub along with all its
dependencies. The consequence I encountered was getting spammed on
package upgrades that I had an EOL GNOME platform installed. I
removed the offending package because I didn't use it, so am not
sure how long the dependency would have hung around.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I like Flatpak better, but for the purposes of maintaining
Python2 support for as long as needed, I wonder if AppImages may
be a better bet? You'd have to build your own Python, but you can
then download and freeze all dependencies in a single binary. You
may be able to do something similar with Flatpak, but the major
benefit there is that you can get lots from the SDKs/platforms
without having to vendor your own dependencies. It may also be
possible to grab and freeze dependent SDKs into a CHIRP
repository.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Speaking of, I didn't try adding CHIRP to Flathub because at the
time they only accepted released software, not daily builds. I
know there's now a beta channel, but I'm not sure if CHIRP would
qualify for that. I'm also not sure if they'd accept daily builds
from a package maintainer who only releases software that way
(I.e. they may be more inclined to accept an official CHIRP daily
release build vs. something put together by some random guy on the
internet. :) I'd love to see CHIRP on Flathub.<br>

<div>If Nolan's flatpak file is/was working then lxml is not
needed. Also I believed that pip install section wasn't working
in mine so I added that dedicated pyserial section. That is
probably the way to go if pip ever decides to shutdown py2
support. I also cheated and used a source from Ubuntu packages
because FTP isn't supported by flatpak-builder. </div>

<div dir="auto" style="text-align: left;">@Nolan thanks for
reminding us of your repository again. I thought I had seen
something related to flatpak but couldn't remember where. That's
going to be a valuable reference in knowing what is needed and
what is not needed.</div>
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: left;"><br>
</div>
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: left;">@Richard, I'm more than
happy to clean up and incorporate anything that Nolan has and do
some debugging. Also you can add json directly into a yml file
if you like the syntax better while still taking advantage of
new features like comments.</div>

<div>Well, outside of the atrocious documentation on how
to deal with icons, I actually got it to run after
modifying Tony's JSON version. It uses PIP for the pure
python dependencies and I think I like that better. If
most of the documentation was in YAML instead of JSON I
would definitely want to use your version. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Some noted differences:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I added suds for radioreference, </div>
<div>I don't see lxml in yours... </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Other than the icon issue (haven't tested a full
install with the desktop file) I actually was able to
download from my Wouxun UV6D!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'll see if I can adapt your YAML to my JSON file.
I'm not currently doing any cleanup.</div>
<div><br>

<div>Thanks,</div>
