exceptionptr/tsm-app-linux v1.1.16

TSM App v1.1.16

on GitHub

Added

• Flatpak, AppImage and a Nix flake, all built by CI alongside the existing
  deb and rpm.
  • Flatpak: a single-file bundle is attached to each release, so
    flatpak install ./io.github.exceptionptr.tsm-app-linux.flatpak is enough.
    It carries its own Python and Qt, so no distro PySide6 is needed. The app id
    is io.github.exceptionptr.tsm-app-linux, which is also what a Flathub
    listing would use. It asks for access to the whole filesystem, because the
    app exists to write Lua into World of Warcraft installs and those live
    wherever the user keeps games, including separate drives.
  • AppImage: one executable file with Python, Qt and every dependency
    inside, for distributions that package none of them. Around 240 MB.
  • Nix flake: nix run github:exceptionptr/tsm-app-linux runs it, and the
    flake's overlay adds tsm-app for NixOS configurations. APScheduler 4 is
    still a pre-release and absent from nixpkgs, so the flake carries it.
• A packaging workflow that runs on pushes to develop, so a broken manifest
  turns up before a release is tagged rather than in the middle of one.

Fixed

• The app cancelled reboot and shutdown on KDE Plasma (#21). Closing the
  window hides it to the tray, which is the point of the tray icon, but the
  session manager announces a logout by asking windows to close. Hiding refused
  that request, and a client that refuses one cancels the logout for the whole
  session, so the desktop reported Logout cancelled by '' and stayed put until
  the app was quit by hand. With show_confirmation_on_exit on it was worse: a
  question box appeared mid-logout and waited for an answer. The app now takes a
  logout notice from the session manager and obeys close requests from then on,
  without hiding and without asking. An ordinary session save is deliberately
  left alone, since that is not a logout and the app should survive it.
• The desktop had no name for the app. Nothing set the desktop file name, so
  Qt fell back to the interpreter and the window went out identified as
  python3. That is why the logout notice above had empty quotes where the
  culprit's name belongs. The app now identifies itself as tsm-app, matching
  the installed desktop entry, which also lets the panel pair the window with
  its icon.
• A logout killed the app mid-write. Session managers end a program with
  SIGTERM, which went unhandled, so the process died without closing the
  scheduler, the API session or the database. SIGTERM now takes the same route
  as Ctrl+C and shuts everything down in order.
