Q: Setting application version

[Alec Leamas]

Dear list,

I didn't know how to define the version in a flatpak build. I got a
reply (thanks!):

However, I get stuck again. By adding a release to the appstream data I
can build and install into a repo (which unfortunately lives in repo/repo)

Now, if I install directly from this repo:

  $ flatpak install --user repo/repo org.opencpn.OpenCPN

all is fine, my program has version when listed. However, as soon as I
access it as a remote:

  $ flatpak remote-add --user $PWD/repo/repo local
  $ flatpak install --user local org.opencpn.OpenCPN

there is no version when I do flatpak-list. So, I'm missing something more.

Any ideas out there?

Cheers!
