Description Bastien Nocera 2016-10-12 03:11:22 UTC 
gnome-software-3.22.0-1.fc25.x86_64

Trying to follow:
https://github.com/TingPing/flatpak-packages/

without using the command-line, I downloaded:
https://dl.tingping.se/flatpak/tingping.flatpakrepo
locally

I then right-clicked on the file, and selected "Software Install". Clicking the "Install" button on the page doesn't do anything (apart from throwing errors in the journal).

    Support installing flatpakrepo files without optional fields
    
    Don't (mis)use the homepage property to store the flatpak URL. This worked for
    some files where Homepage=Url but not in the case where they differed or where
    the optional Homepage was missing.
