Re: Nightly flatpak builds
Woops, too late for that. I managed to rollback the flatpak install to the 20.08 versions and all is fine for now.
By June I'll be upgrading my Debian 9 (updates for it end then) to 10 and that might just fix this for me. I suspect that freedesktop 21.08 and Deb 9 aren't fully compatible (a bug but one that might be moot soon) since I have had problems with the flatpak Firefox that uses 21. (turning off hardware accel in firefox fixed it) I've delayed getting Deb 10 since I should backup my files first and I've been negligent there. With a new PC you don't feel much need to backup... but that is changing.
And please don't get the impression I'm careless about backing up. I have backups going back to 1982. :) Yes it is 2 audio cassettes from my Atari 800.

Question about the wesnoth-origin server. How was it set up? Asking for a third party that is interested in doing the same for another game.

Re: Nightly flatpak builds
I just tried to update flatpak to get the latest 1.17 but it gave me a shock saying I need to install 23.08 of freedesktop to run stable (that's 1.16.10 right?) even though the current 1.16.10 runs on 22.08.
Confused.
Why do I need 23.08 when 22.08 works? Sounds contradictory.
I am afraid to install 23.08 because when I installed 22 in debian 9 it broke wesnoth and I had to rollback to 21. I am now on debian 10 (yes still behind but a little less) and 22 works with it. I am worried debian 10 and 23 won't work and it will break wesnoth again.
If it's a choice between breaking 1.16 and having the latest 1.17 I will chose 1.16 of course.
Oh, no need to tell me to upgrade Debian to 11. I will as soon as I can but eh...

Re: Nightly flatpak builds
Well, it was updated to 23.08 and then rolled back to 22.08 for now since it turns out the Freedesktop SDK for 23.08 accidentally stopped building SDL2 with webp (and tiff) support. #8040

Re: Nightly flatpak builds
I dug into flatpak a little deeper myself and found that 1.17 was still using 22.08! I also learned how to manually update only those I want to so I updated 1.17 and Firefox (which also still uses 22.08). Widelands & Freeorion are actually still using 20.08 and 21.08 (even though they are "unsupported" oh my) so older is as good as newer. : )
Next I'll try and see if flatpak can be configured to freeze something so it doesn't get included in the updates anymore. I'll do that for 1.16.10 if I can, as I am sure that's the last version. I can later unfreeze it when I move to Debian 11.
