Release 0.9.0

[ryonakano]

TODO:

• Merge metainfo: Add 0.9.0 release notes #425
• Merge Remove libsecret-1.vapi #427
• Merge meson: Use gnome module instead of own python script #428
• Merge Move schemas to data dir #429
• Wait for translation updates

[teamcons]

Suggestions:

• Retire the meson_post_install.py that is not needed, we can just use gnome
• Move schemas into data, to mirror elementary OS structure
• I DID merge it, but do we need the libsecret vapi at all? I think theres native bindings? I have a project in the oven who can use it as dependency without vapi files

Ah yeah I can build the app successfully without the libsecret vapi.

A concern i'd like to share : Cherrypick was once on Flathub, so i released it back there, but it felt a bit bad because i know Danielle dont like/feel hurt by Granite apps being released there instead of appcenter-only

do we want to release Sequeler and other ellie-commons apps there? Do we keep some for appcenter only? How do you feel about granite flathub release

[ryonakano]

Danielle dont like/feel hurt by Granite apps being released there instead of appcenter-only

I haven't heard that and my apps like Reco, KonbuCase, and Pin It! are available on Flathub too.
@danirabbit what do you think?

do we want to release Squealer and other ellie-commons apps there? Do we keep some for appcenter only? How do you feel about granite flathub release

IMO I think we may want to release (at least) Sequeler on Flathub too because not only folks that use elementary OS but also those who use other distributions loved it; it's even available on Ubuntu universe repository:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sequeler

I know we can add AppCenter Flathub repository on any distributions because Flatpak is distro-agnostic, but most people on other distributions didn't do that and instead installed Sequeler from Flathub.

@ryonakano my personal opinion is that it's healthier for the ecosystem to not duplicate publishing apps across remotes unless you're publishing with different platforms (ie targeting granite in appcenter and Adwaita in flathub). But no I don't feel hurt or upset about anyone doing this

[ryonakano]

@danirabbit Thanks for your quick reply. I agree with you and think ideally we may want to publish Adwaita version of the app to Flathub in the future, but the app still uses GTK 3 and porting to 4 requires more work and time, so it would be acceptable to publish Granite version of the app both on AppCenter and Flathub.

@teamcons What do you think?

[teamcons]

@teamcons What do you think?

Supporting adwaita means testing with both granite and adwaita. We do not mind either way but will not be able to do both consistently ourselves
Cherrypick had custom elements with custom css breaking on non eOS platforms for example

[ryonakano]

Yeah providing harmony style both on Pantheon and GNOME is difficult especially when using custom CSS.

Thank you so much for keeping this project alive.
I'm extremely grateful for your commitment and updates.
I hope to be able to get back into this next year and help whenever I can with PRs and reviews

@Alecaddd Sorry, I should have asked you first (and also discuss with you, teamcons, and danirabbit in an issue before creating this PR), but should I pend this PR until you come back, or may I go ahead to release a new version of Sequeler on AppCenter and Flathub on behalf of you?

[Alecaddd]

@ryonakano no apology needed, please go ahead and do a new release.
I happily transferred this repo to the Ellie community after Danielle asked me to and the fact that you're updating it and keeping it alive makes me extremely happy

[ryonakano]

I'm going to resubmit Sequeler to Flathub once this PR is merged since we're re-RDNNed from com.github.alecaddd.sequeler to io.github.ellie_commons.sequeler thus using the current repository is not allowed.

@ellie-commons/developers @ellie-commons/maintainers @ellie-commons/owners
Does anyone else other than me and @Alecaddd want push access to the new repository on Flathub? Please react to this comment with 👍 if you wish to, I'll mention in my submission PR so that you are also granted, as written in the doc:

The GitHub account submitting the application to Flathub along with any upstream developers of the application (if mentioned by the submitter or at reviewer's discretion) will be given access to the application repository once created.

[teamcons]

I just came out of a french translation session. @ryonakano you are the weblate specialist, is it possible to get it in before this gets merged?

[ryonakano]

@teamcons I committed all changes that were pending on weblate to this repository. Could you check everything looks good to you?

[teamcons]

Lets go do SQL queries then

[ryonakano]

@Alecaddd @teamcons Submission for Flathub was accepted just now. You two also should receive invitation for https://github.com/flathub/io.github.ellie_commons.sequeler. Make sure to accept it and then watch the repository. Thanks!
