Ubuntu 16.04: Install and build Flatpak

Install flatpak package from ppa repository according to flatpak.org.

$ sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:alexlarsson/flatpak
$ sudo apt update -y
$ sudo apt install -y flatpak

This later is the same as the case of Fedora 24.

Following script will install org.gnome.gedit. Because org.gnome.Platform and org.gnome.Sdk have a problem, reinstall these for avoiding this problem.

#!/bin/sh

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:alexlarsson/flatpak
sudo apt update -y
sudo apt install -y flatpak

wget https://sdk.gnome.org/keys/gnome-sdk.gpg
flatpak --user remote-add --gpg-import=gnome-sdk.gpg gnome \
        https://sdk.gnome.org/repo/
flatpak --user remote-add --gpg-import=gnome-sdk.gpg gnome-apps \
        https://sdk.gnome.org/repo-apps/

flatpak_user_install()
{
  flatpak --user list --runtime --app | grep ${2} > /dev/null && return 0
  while : ; do
    flatpak --user install $@ &
    pid=$!
    sleep 300
    ps -p ${pid} | awk '{ print $1 }' | grep ${pid} > /dev/null || break
    sudo kill -KILL ${pid}
  done
}

flatpak --user install gnome-apps org.gnome.gedit stable
flatpak_user_install gnome org.gnome.Platform 3.20
