Re: [Squirrel-sql-develop] SQuirreL SQL Flatpak

[Tim E. <tl...@ho...>]

I made some improvements:

   - The manifest now pulls in JDBC drivers for MySQL, PostgreSQL, and
   SQLite.
   - JDBC drivers are now in the classpath and no extra configuration is
   needed.
   - The SQuirreL SQL settings directory was changed to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
   where flatpak expects config files to be stored.

If there aren't any objections, I would like to submit this to the flathub
registry.

Thanks,
Tim
