Audacity - alpha version only?

Hello,

I tried to install Audacity from Flathub. However, the version installed was a 2.3.3-Alpha, despite the branch being marked Stable in “flatpak list”.

Is there a way to get a usable released version? Thanks!

Where do you see this?

Here I have Audacity org.audacityteam.Audacity 2.3.3 stable flathub system, and I checked, it is this release that is built:

https://github.com/audacity/audacity/releases/tag/Audacity-2.3.3

I fixed it, upstream added the git tag before the release.

Unfortunately the fix is not in yet.

I did:

flatpak install flathub org.audacityteam.Audacity

then after the installaton:

flatpak run org.audacityteam.Audacity

Audacity started, I looked in Help>About and saw: Audacity 2.3.3-alpha-Nov 24 2019

The tarball seems to have changed. The new build hasn’t been published yet. It really should be fixed by then (I was about to submit the same)

Sorry for reactivating this thread but it seems that it happened again with the new 3.1.0 build of audacity.
The app image for 3.1.0 and the flatpak are both built with the same commit id but the flatpak declares to be a beta build (Audacity 3.1.0-beta-20211029). Even though it is provided by the stable branch.

I forgot when I merged beta to stable.

Looks good now, just the app name has still “(Beta) Audacity” in it.

Thanks @hub, looks fine now!
