flatpak

[T Rex]

Hello, I think the package is quite advanced. Of the features mentioned, I
need to incorporate docbook, the problem is that the sources produce errors
when compiling them, patches must be applied. I have added via plugins to
lilypond and sweave/knitr, it seems like the best to me.

As for sweave/knitr, I really don't know if it is necessary to install
additional R packages, it surely is. If that is the case I suppose it
should be necessary to install a compiler.

Reviewers mentioned that the appdata.xml file was incomplete, so I used a
different one. Although you may not be able to use a generic one due to the
customization of the information that must be provided regarding the
contents of the package.
