Who publishes this

Something concrete is wrong: the id claims a namespace this repository does not own, or the build does things a build should not. Flatsonar warns twice.

  • org.mozilla.FirefoxNightly claims the org.mozilla namespace but is hosted by gitlab.com/dklawren and does not build the owner's code
    publisher:namespace
  • https://gitlab.com/SriRamanujam/firefox-nightly-flatpak also publishes this app id
    publisher:collision
  • installs a prebuilt binary instead of building from source
    source:prebuilt
