Thanks. So I got xdg-app-builder working fairly painlessly for a little
toy gtkmm project:
https://github.com/murraycu/prefixsuffix/blob/master/manifest.json

I put it here:
http://murraycu.github.io/prefixsuffix/repo/

by doing this:

$ xdg-app-builder --require-changes app manifest.json
$ sudo mkdir -p /repos/prefixsuffix
$ sudo chown murrayc:murrayc /repos/prefixsuffix
$ xdg-app build-export /repos/prefixsuffix app
$ xdg-app repo-update /repos/prefixsuffix

Then I copied all of /repos/prefixsuffix/* into the repo/ directory
that appears on the website.

Should I be using my own GPG key to sign it, or is there some way to
create a GPG key for the project, and is that wise?


Also, my app doesn't actually run. Is it obvious what I'm doing wrong?

$ xdg-app run org.gnome.PrefixSuffix
