Is it just me, or is packaging for Flatpak a nightmare?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I managed to get it somehow working, but it got rejected by Flathub, because they don't want me to build webkit and use the network during build (which I need)
I'm working on resticity, a restic frontend.
Not relying on the network during a build is pretty common while making an rpm package. It's a pretty reasonable requirement to have. I'd suggest looking into what e.g. the equivalent Fedora package does.
Is that webkit version outdated? In general you should try to support one of the supported versions.
TBH I'm fairly new to this. Gnome 45 sandbox has webkit2-4.1, while my PC build uses webkit2-4.0. Now, Gnome 3.38 sandbox has webkit2-4.0, but it still doesn't run, due to missing libs. And I don't know how to put everything together, so it works without having to re-build everything.
Hm, I would contact upstream devs to support 2-4.1 then and find / create git repos for the missing libs, then include those as binaries in your manifest. This should avoid network access?
