Indeed, thanks!

Still, the road is bumpy for an apprentice, it's hard to find
documentation. I have managed to build my extension/plugin, but:

  - I can see the installed stuff in /app/extensions/ShipDriver; here is
a generated manifest file and the files I have installed  in lib/ and
share/ when using flatpak-builder --run ... bash

  - I can install the plugin package.

  - But, when I check the sandbox for the main package, there is nothing
under /app/extensions using flatpak run --command=bash ...

I guess I have missed something, again. Thoughts?


Cheers!
