[digiKam-users] Future of digiKam bundles...

[Andrey Goreev]

I think flatpaks are standalone and have no dependencies. Looks like they
allow for better integration with some desktops which is valuable to many
users (KDE Plasma users for instance). And also looks like it gets building
applications off Gilles’ plate allowing him to spend more time coding,
enjoy family time or finally get that ol’ BWM motorcycle that has been
sitting in the garage for years up and running again so I say why not?
