Permission to add to Flathub

[Justinzobel]

I'd like to publish clustershell to Flathub. I've already created a manifest to upload. To do so, I just need approval from the developers. If you are not happy with some third party uploading, I am happy to send the manifest for you to publish/maintain.

Hi Justin! Thanks for offering publishing ClusterShell to Flathub. Usually, Flathub is used to distribute large and complex projects (ie: browser, or GUI).

I'm curious to know what would be your use case?

Immutable distros.

How is that more practical than e.g. virtualenv?

(uv is great for this, you don't even need to setup a virtualenv yourself anymore nowadays:

[root@035aaae3fdbd /]# uv run --with clustershell nodeset -ll
@adm example0
@all example[4-6,32-159]
@compute example[32-159]
@gpu example[156-159]
@io example[4-6]
@mds example6
@oss example[4-5]

)

I'm also curious how you'd manage your groups and other clustershell config, with uv you can use /etc/clustershell or $HOME/.local/etc/clustershell as usual with no problem but with flatpak iirc you'd have to find the .local flatpak subdir and deal with it? or do you share your home? I guess you'd need to share the home to access your client ssh key (and possibly ssh agent socket too?) anyway?

Even if we just give permission I'd love to see what kind of config you have prepared first.
