Subject: [PATCH] Release: FreeBSD, Flatpak (x86_64 + aarch64) and AppImage
zsync; README Downloads (#267)
- release.yml: new `flatpak` jobs (x86_64 on ubuntu-24.04, aarch64 on ubuntu-24.04-arm) that
repackage the Linux tarball as filmcraft--linux-.flatpak, and a `freebsd` job that
builds filmcraft--freebsd-x86_64.tar.gz in a FreeBSD 14.3 VM; both feed the draft release.
- AppImages embed gh-releases-zsync update information and ship a .zsync beside them; the
Linux job checks both.
- Jobs that sign nothing (version, Linux, Flatpak, FreeBSD, web) no longer use the `release`
environment, so a dispatch on a branch dry-runs them; the signing jobs and the draft-release
job stay in the environment, so nothing is published from a branch.
- packaging/linux/flatpak-bundle.sh + bundle manifest (same runtime and finish-args as the
Flathub manifest; packaging-lint checks they agree), packaging/freebsd/package.sh (with a
--dry-run that packaging-lint runs), and a nightly FreeBSD build workflow.
- README: Downloads section listing every build; docs/releasing.md updated.
