Description Dimitris Kardarakos 2019-02-06 20:48:41 UTC 
To build flatpaks for Plasma Mobile (https://docs.plasma-mobile.org/AppDevelopment.html ) updated versions of flatpak and flatpak-builder are needed. The current situation is:

Package: flatpak

Version: 1.2.2-flatpak1~bionic
APT-Sources: http://ppa.launchpad.net/alexlarsson/flatpak/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 Packages

Version: 1.0.6-0ubuntu0.1
APT-Sources: http://gr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic-updates/universe amd64 Packages

Version: 0.11.3-3
APT-Sources: http://gr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu bionic/universe amd64 Package


Package: flatpak-builder

Version: 1.0.4-flatpak1~bionic
APT-Sources: http://ppa.launchpad.net/alexlarsson/flatpak/ubuntu bionic/main amd64 Packages

Version: 0.10.9-1ubuntu1

I'm afraid I don't understand the problem. The PPA has the latest version, as one would expect?
Comment 2 Dimitris Kardarakos 2019-02-07 10:51:12 UTC 
To get the latest flatpak and flatpak-builder we need to add a PPA as described here https://flatpak.org/setup/Ubuntu/

Nevertheless, I think that it is a better solution  to offer the latest  flatpak and flatpak-builder in KDE Neon repos and not suggest to the contributors to add PPAs to their system.
Comment 3 Harald Sitter 2019-02-07 13:30:22 UTC 
Building flatpak is fairly out of scope for neon seeing as it is not KDE software. In particular, or perhaps even more so, because the flatpak devs do actively maintain the PPA as a first choice source for up to date flatpak builds.

> With older Ubuntu versions, the official Flatpak PPA is the recommended way to install Flatpak.
