Change the application ID for the beta branch. #92
Conversation
It's ugly but this is the only way to not have to manually switch the flatpak branch through boring command lines. See issue #91 and flatpak/flatpak#1109.

Update build-id for version check (though it's not too important here) and the binding options, which are now different.

This can't work. You have to submit new app to flathub with new id and new git repo. |

This won't work.

We know. We have already advised people to run these commands ever since this beta branch exists. See for instance the "Flatpak additional instructions" in: https://www.gimp.org/downloads/devel/ Even in our release news, we told about these commands: https://www.gimp.org/news/2020/11/06/gimp-2-99-2-released/#beta-flatpak-available But the simple fact we have to tell about this tells it's sucky workflow because it means it doesn't integrate at all with the desktop. People who want to test the development versions don't want one or the other (or to run annoying, hard-to-remember command line in terminal). They want to use the stable one for their daily work, and be able to run the dev one on a whim. This is possible on Windows (it would probably on macOS too if our packager had packaged the dev version) but not on Linux right now and that's too bad. 😕 Anyway the current proposed trick is to use a different app ID but that will also imply we make a new repo, which is annoying for a few reasons; one of them being that now everyone already registered this beta branch and people currently using it would not get the updates for next versions and would not know why. So I'm holding back this for now. Maybe later if we add a "notification channel" in GIMP where we are able to send important messages (opt-in). I don't know, we'll see… |

I recommend bump the runtime version, and all yml to beta files
