## About
|
|
|
|
This is a fork of [Flatpak manifest](https://github.com/losuler/com.cisco.PacketTracer) for [Cisco's Packet Tracer](https://www.netacad.com/courses/packet-tracer). The Deb package in which Cisco distributes their binary build of Packet Tracer is not included as the download link for and use of Packet Tracer itself requires a Netacad account, which can be bypassed with disabled networking.
|

|
|
## Changes from upstream
|
|
- Manifest changes:
|
|
- Updated platforms (from 22.08 to 24.08)
|
|
- Restricted permissions on network and filesystem (xdg-download/packettracer instead of xdg-download)
|
|
- Added `QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb` envvar
|
|
- Makefile changes:
|
|
- Added `install-deps` option
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is currently based on Packet Tracer 8.2.1 and is intended to track the latest release. For previous releases see [janymal/PacketTracer7-flatpak](https://github.com/janymal/PacketTracer7-flatpak) and [rpallai/flatpak-pt](https://github.com/rpallai/flatpak-pt).

|
|
|
|
3. Pull dependencies and run build with Nix:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
nix-shell -p flatpak-builder appstream gnumake --run 'make install'
|
|
```
|

|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- Do not remove the `.flatpak-builder` directory that is created during the build (while the Flatpak is installed) as it serves as the local Flatpak repository.
