Test build of Elmer as Flatpak now ready for testing.

[kevinsmia1939]

Hi,
I package Elmer as Flatpak for Linux.
https://www.flatpak.org/
https://flathub.org/home

Elmer's precompiled binary is available as a Flatpak. Any system that supports Flatpak should be able to run Elmer this way. Install Flatpak as directed here.
https://flatpak.org/setup/

To install this testing build of Elmer.
flatpak install --user https://dl.flathub.org/build-repo/83307/fi.csc.Elmer.flatpakref

The pull request for adding Elmer to Flathub and test build is here: flathub/flathub#2992

Ideally, I would like any Elmer dev to become the maintainer of the Flathub repo, but I will do most of the Flatpak maintenance work.

At the moment, MUMPS and espreso is not include because I could not make Elmer build with it.
Let me know what you think.

Hi, I would like to test, but I get an error 404:

$ flatpak install --user https://dl.flathub.org/build-repo/83307/fi.csc.Elmer.flatpakref
error: Can't load uri https://dl.flathub.org/build-repo/83307/fi.csc.Elmer.flatpakref: Server returned status 404

I have been patching up Elmer 9 to support newer dependencies atm, but there is quite a lot and will take some time. I wish elmer would release new version soon.

@Taack
Here is the new one
flatpak install --user https://dl.flathub.org/build-repo/119888/fi.csc.Elmer.flatpakref

@kevinsmia1939 it says the same error message, maybe it is a temporary link...

Anyway, I could install ElmerFEM 9 on my machines. It works, but I noticed it depends on Qt4 so I imagine it is not an easy task to build a package... I will check later flatpak version you provide.

Yeah, it does not last more than a few days. I can trigger new build again.

@kevinsmia1939

I could try this one, as far as I can tell, it works as expected. Regards.

Are you still trying to get this on Flathub? If not, could you provide a permanent build somewhere?

I am trying to publish to Flathub. But need someone to test it. Will rebuild it for testing again soon
