Build Repomaker as Flatpak application
In #160 (closed) the result of the deployment research was the following:
- Desktop App as Debian Package #173 (closed)
- Desktop App on OS X #180
- Docker Image for Hosted Installation #175
Which is perfectly fine, I guess. But as you can see, so far Repomaker would be limited on Linux to Debian first, would might work with little work on Debian-based repos etc. But for other distros, user would end up installing it from PyPi or building it from source.
To ease the deployment of applications on Linux, Flatpak exists for quite some time. I think it's worth releasing Repomaker as Flatpak, as users would then get an easy installation process on whatever distro they are. They would just need to install flatpak on their device and then are e.g. able to browse the apps inside GNOME Software, similar to the experience we provide inside F-Droid.

There's also a quite good documentation on how to use Flatpak to build apps.
