Using Docker image

None

Description

See:

• https://buildbot.flathub.org/#/builders/25/builds/13346
• flathub/org.sabnzbd.sabnzbd#36 (comment)

Unfortunately this would require a new version bump. Is this possible?

Thanks!

I don't get it? The 4.2.3 version is there?

[François M.]

@Safihre This file needs to be fixed according to the linter: https://github.com/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/blob/develop/linux/org.sabnzbd.sabnzbd.appdata.xml#L54

But you need to generate a new build.

Apparently the appstream spec changed:

asv-relation-display-length-value-invalid
    org.sabnzbd.sabnzbd.appdata.xml:54 - small
    This `display_length` item contains an invalid display length. Its value must be a positive integer value denoting logical pixels. Please refer to the AppStream specification for more information on this tag.

There's also this deprecation warning:

asv-developer-name-tag-deprecated
    org.sabnzbd.sabnzbd.appdata.xml:58 -
    The toplevel `developer_name` element is deprecated. Please use the `name` element in a `developer` block instead.
asv-developer-info-missing
    org.sabnzbd.sabnzbd.appdata.xml -
    This component contains no `developer` element with information about its author.

@Safihre I've added a patch on the Flathub package for the current package, so I'll wait till it get fixed in the next release. :)

Recently we've had users using flatpak and then run into issues where sab things they have no free space but in reality their /mnt are just read only. Any way to have our flatpak by default make /mnt read+write without having users to use flatseal?

[François M.]

@thezoggy See https://github.com/flathub/org.sabnzbd.sabnzbd/blob/master/org.sabnzbd.sabnzbd.yaml

This controls the r/w permissions, and the following are set by default:

  - --filesystem=xdg-download
  - --filesystem=/media
  - --filesystem=/run/media

I can add more, as seen here: https://github.com/flathub/tv.kodi.Kodi/blob/3889b0f58ed02bc4f4b708d608c94294b5099248/tv.kodi.Kodi.yml#L14

You should have rw permissions to the Flathub repo, so you could also add them yourself. :)

However, I would encourage users to use something like Flatseal. Sometimes having full access to /mnt is unwanted, but I'm happy to add more paths if requested. :)

Edit: done (flathub/org.sabnzbd.sabnzbd#41)
