[crossfire] flatpak

[Jussi Eloranta]

Hi,

OK, I managed to get the bare-to-the-bones version of flatpak/flathub 
system for crossfire going:

https://github.com/flathub/net.crossfireatlas.crossfire

Do you guys have github accounts? If you do, I can include you with 
read/write access. So, whenever a change is pushed there, flathub bot 
will automatically rebuild the package and it will be available at 
flathub (as an update).

Right now, I don't think this is fully live yet (= available at flathub 
publicly), but it should be soon. I installed the temporary flathub 
package on my steam deck and that works. There are some packaging 
related things that should probably be worked on (versioning, better 
screenshots, icons, etc.) but that will come later - I am stuck playing 
crossfire again!! :-)

I discovered along the way that it is possible to distribute gtk2-based 
programs but that will require some experimenting. gtk2 is no longer 
part of the standard flathub runtimes.

The above is just for the java client. BTW does the java client support 
sound? If it does, where should the sound files be placed at?

Happy New Year,

Jussi Eloranta
