Describe the enhancement you want to request

Hello! I would like to have a flatpak version of the desktop app.
Currently, it seems like it supports only deb/rpm, making it impossible to install on other distributions.

Hi everyone, I've created a basic Flatpak manifest for OpenCode Desktop: ai.opencode.opencode.yml. If anyone is interested, please build and test it.

I'd also like to kindly ask @thdxr, @adamdotdevin or other OpenCode contributors for approval to submit this to Flathub for review. Having it on Flathub would make installation much easier for users.

Hello @NN708, thank you so much!
While flathub can't process with the application, can I suggest uploading .flatpak bundle, with each release, just like .appimage or .exe?

I think, this would be a perfect, temporary solution.

I know other projects are doing exactly the same, like Orca Slicer (check their latest release files)

The docs - https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/single-file-bundles.html

Users can install the bundle by downloading and running:
flatpak install ./opencode.flatpak

@Yach0 as I understand there was exception added, so when that is merged it will proceed with being merged?

Hi everyone, the Flatpak packaging work is mostly complete, but I need some help with the submission to Flathub. Publishing on Flathub would allow users to install OpenCode with one click from an app store like GNOME Software, which is much more convenient than distributing standalone .flatpak bundles.

Flathub's reviewers have asked that the package be built from source (which currently isn't possible due to bun). As an alternative, they've suggested the package be maintained by upstream developers (https://github.com/flathub/flathub/pull/7489#issuecomment-3863480552). I'd like to ask @adamdotdevin or other developers if you'd be willing to help maintain the Flathub package. Since we're essentially repackaging the existing .deb files, ongoing maintenance should be minimal.
