new flathub up and running!

[Robert McQueen]

Hi all,

Just a quick update to let you know that we've finished rebuilding all
of the packages on the new infrastructure, so everything that we used to
have on Flathub is now available in the new flathub.org repo.

The DNS for flathub.org/www.flathub.org is now pointing to the new
infrastructure. \o/

We've been publishing the new GPG key on the old repo for quite a while,
so if you have a recent enough Flatpak then you should already have the
GPG key in your configuration.

If you have any problems with reaching the server, SSL or GPG errors,
please get in touch - you can drop me a mail, or find me (ramcq) on
#flatpak IRC, Twitter, etc or at GUADEC in Manchester from tomorrow. :)

Go forth and Flatpak!

Cheers,
Rob
