App of Matrix-client Hydrogen up for adoption

General

So one nodejs18 && yarn build later… it should work (test build repo here).

(if you broke hydrogen with the previous broken build that I sent, you might want to remove ~/.cache/org.github.thigg.harbour-hydrogen/hydrogen/.mozilla/ and ~/.local/share/harbour-hydrogen - sorry about that )

Some thoughts:

  • It still required to package the yarn cache - so it is not fully open build, though a verifiable one. Not that accessing npm repos at build time would make it any better - it would have required packaging node packages for each one of the dependencies, which is beyond the scope of building harbour-hydrogen.
  • The easier route would be to just build hydrogen-web on github or any CI with access to node commands and npm repository and add Source1=https://path-to-github-build such as github.com/vector-im/hydrogen-web/releases/tag/v0.3.7 instead of using a submodule
    (of course this is in hindsight)
