Nowhere.
And this is to indicate that flatpaks will not be accepted by debian?
What do you mean by "accepted"?
The proliferation of formats, all apparently intended to make one code
run on all "linux" machines by supplying (theoretically) all
dependencies with one bloated download has arrived, there are at least a
dozen vpn's that all seem to take several minutes to setup anew at each
boot, AppImages that usually Just Work, and ff without the esr is now
supplied as a weekly updated flatpak as is the latest version of
prusaslicer. Its supposed to Just Work. I follow the install
instructions but can't make it work on this amd64 box. In this case the
pre-requisites install fails by not specing where the "*.flatpakrepo"
file is supposed to go. As configured here, the /vat/lib/flatpak
directory is the top of an extensive tree that flatpak searches to see
what is available. But with no flatpak's actually installed I have no
comparisons to guide me. Hence the questions.
On the arm64's I supposedly have FF as a flatpak and something seems to
be scanning someplace (flathub?) to advise me a new weekly version is
available, but whats installed is version 135 as a .deb, so while it
works, its never updated. Always V135.
Your box, your rules. There is no Debian police kicking down your
door if you *dare* to install something else on top (on the contrary,
Debian goes out of its way to make it possible for you to tinker.
That's why it imposes pretty restrictive rules on itself. That's
why there are so many derivatives of it.
But if you tinker, and break things in the way, then it's on you
to find out what went awry. Grown-ups and that.
I didn't break this, the instructions for Debian pre-requisites setup
appear to be busted.
You are welcome to ask help here, but then, again, it's on you to
try to wrap your brain a bit around those willing to help you,
instead of shooting out a question without the necessary context.
Goto the prusa site, select the prusaslicer as a Linux download, see a
link to the pre-requisites, click on it, step 3 will put that file where
ever that shell is cd'd to. Not where it actually belongs. The question
can be answered (ISTM) quite simply by searching the /var/lib/flatpak
tree, or the ~.local/share tree. Mine seems to be /var/lib/flatpak
version. This is apparently for multi-user systems, per user ack the
manpage would be in ~/$user/.local/share/flatpak, but that doesn't exist
here. Seems to me it is a legitimate question...
Otherwise... you might get useless answers.
