Where are the GNOME 45 runtime images?

[johannesjh]

Hi there, where can I find the gnome45 runtime image for building a flatpak app? I was expecting to find a gnome45 image on quay.io but I could not find it. I’d very much appreciate some hints and guidance, thanks!

Some background explanation about what I am trying to do: My app favagtk is currently built on top of org.gnome.Platform with runtime-version 44, as can be seen in favagtk’s flatpak manifest. I want to update the app to use GNOME45. In the gitlab CI build job, I have to specify a matching runtime image in order for the build to succeed; it is currently specified as quay.io/gnome_infrastructure/gnome-runtime-images:gnome-44, see favagtk’s .gitlab.ci.yml file. I was expecting to find a gnome45 image on quay.io but I could not find it.

If they are not available in https://quay.io repository yet, you should probably raise the issue there.

Cheers!

Thank you!

I think I am already using these images in my flatpak builder manifest file like this:

{
  "app-id": "org.gnome.gitlab.johannesjh.favagtk",
  "runtime": "org.gnome.Platform",
  "runtime-version": "45",
  "sdk": "org.gnome.Sdk",
  /* ... */
}

The problem is, the CI build fails unless the docker image (where flatpak-builder is run) includes the gnome45 sdk and platform. Any recommendation for making or getting such a docker image? Where specifically can I raise the issue? Quay hosts these images but does not create them, right? Can I ask the GNOME infrastructure team, are they creating the images on quay?

[johannesjh]

It seems to me that the “Gnome runtime images” project over on gnome’s gitlab produces the docker images. So I asked them if they could produce and upload a GNOME 45 docker image on quay, see issue #11 in the gnome runtime images project

[johannesjh]

Docker images with GNOME45 sdk and platform are now available on quay, thanks to everyone involved!
