Fixing failed auto-pr

Apr 18, 2025 Closed

Hi.

This may be a rather basic question, but I don’t want to make any mistakes.

I pushed a new release of my game, and a pr for the update was auto-generated. But the test build failed because the metainfo validation failed —the releases were in the incorrect order. I fixed the issue and re-created the release, but now the checksums and commit id are different from before. Should I fix them manually?

Thanks.

Meanwhile, a new PR was created and successfully passed the tests. I closed the old one and merged the new.

Thanks.

As the maintainer you can make the changes manually (either into a new or the existing update branch), you don’t have to wait for the auto pull request.

But I think it’s advisable to still work with branches / pull requests since those will create test builds you can check before merging into you stable branch.

if you meant that you retagged, it was wrong. NEVER retag (this is not flatpak specific). Either put a patch part of the flathub build until next time, or release a new version with the fix.

Replying to #4

I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks.
