Subject: [PATCH] Release: Windows arm64, Flatpak aarch64, AppImage zsync
updates, README Downloads (#9)
- Windows: add arm64 (aarch64-pc-windows-msvc) to the matrix. package.ps1, sign.ps1 and the
WiX source already handled it; nothing in the dependency tree blocks the target (clippy -D
warnings is clean for it).
- Flatpak: x86_64 and aarch64 bundles repackage the Linux job's tarball (PhotoCraft's
approach: same binaries and embedded fonts as the AppImage/deb/rpm, no Rust build). The
from-source manifest stays for Flathub; packaging-lint keeps the two in sync. Both now grant
--socket=pulseaudio so slide-show audio/video plays in the sandbox.
- AppImage: embed gh-releases-zsync update information and publish the .zsync beside it.
- Jobs that sign nothing (version, linux, flatpak, freebsd, web) leave the release environment,
so a branch dispatch is a dry run; the draft-release job now requires every build.
- README: Downloads section.
