PoC Flatpak packaging about qucs_s HOT 5 OPEN

- --socket=x11

Unless you're forcing XCB QPA platform in the application or using ngspice's X11 plotting, it should have instead

--socket=fallback-x11
--socket=wayland

Please read the standard permission section.

  - name: ngspice
    build-options:
        strip: true

This means that you're throwing away ngspice's symbols, instead of extracting them and moving into a separate .Debug extension.
In fact, due to flatpak-builder bug, this actually remove symbols from everything that is already in $FLATPAK_DEST.

And last, this is obviously missing an AppStream MetaInfo, which will be needed for Flathub submission. Please see the documentation here, the AppStream MetaInfo Creator, and the Appstream section in App Requirements wiki page.

I have recently started the generation of the Flatpak manifest for Qucs-S. I didn't find a way to launch an external application from system /usr from the flatpak. Therefore I decided to include the ngspice into the Flatpak package. The qucsator has dependency on ADMS that depends on Perl modules. And therefore the adding of the qucsator into the Flatpak is not a straightforward task. So I decided to restrict the Flatpak version of the Qucs-S by Ngspice support only. The manifest draft could be found here: https://github.com/ra3xdh/qucs_scripts/blob/master/FLATPAK/com.github.ra3xdh.qucs-s.yaml

@ra3xdh you can use flatpak-cpan-generator.pl.

I packaged ADMS with QUCS like this

- name: adms
  config-opts:
   - --enable-maintainer-mode
   - PERL5LIB=/app/lib/perl5
  make-args:
   - PERL5LIB=/app/lib/perl5
  sources:
   - type: archive
     url: https://github.com/Qucs/ADMS/archive/release-2.3.7.tar.gz
     sha256: 0d24f645d7ce0daa447af1b0cff1123047f3b73cc41cf403650f469721f95173
  modules:
    - name: perl-dependencies
      buildsystem: simple
      build-options:
        env:
          - PERL5LIB=/app/lib/perl5
      build-commands:
        - perl-libs/install.sh
      post-install:
        # workaround for cpanm acting silly and installs files without write permission
        - find /app -type f ! -perm -0200 -exec chmod u+w '{}' \;
      sources:
        - perl-dependencies-sources.json
        - type: shell
          commands:
            # fix the generated install.sh to avoid having it try to install into /usr
            - sed -e 's|\(perl Makefile.PL\).* \&\& \(make install\).*|\1 INSTALL_BASE=/app \&\& \2|' -e
              's|\(perl Build.PL\) \&\&|\1 --install_base=/app \&\&|' -i perl-libs/install.sh

And perl-dependencies-sources.json was generated by running

$ flatpak-cpan-generator.pl --output perl-dependencies-sources.json XML::LibXML

from qucs_s.

I updated the example ADMS packaging to work with the latest revision of flatpak-cpan-generator.pl.

Is flatpak qucs-s support up to date ?
