About

Who publishes this

Nobody has confirmed that the publisher controls this app id. Flatsonar warns before installing.

  • packaged by github.com/socios-linux, not by the org.gnome namespace owner; it does build the owner's code from https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/fractal.git
    publisher:namespace
  • git source tracks a moving branch: what gets built can change without the manifest changing
    source:unpinned
  • the build has network access: it can download things the manifest does not list
    build-options:--share=network
  • same name as org.gnome.Fractal on Flathub but from a different repository
    publisher:lookalike
