Frescobaldi+LilyPond flatpak package now available

[Federico Bruni]

Hi folks

I'm happy to announce that Frescobaldi is now available for Linux users also as flatpak on Flathub:

https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.frescobaldi.Frescobaldi

Advantages:

- LilyPond is bundled, so it's a very simple installation.

- All runtime dependencies are included.

- Sandbox.

Bugs:

- Doumentation browser is not working.

There's something wrong in the way I built PyQtWebEngine...

Current stable installed size is 287 MB. (not including the KDE runtime)

Current beta release shipping lilypond 2.21.80 is 245 MB (no need to include python2).

Installing the stable version should be straightforward.

If you want to install the beta version (which currently has only the "stable RC" of lilypond), run these commands:

flatpak remote-add --user flathub-beta https://flathub.org/beta-repo/flathub-beta.flatpakrepo

flatpak install --user flathub-beta org.frescobaldi.Frescobaldi

Cheers

Federico
