    1. Yeah I'm not sure how far we should go with this. Like adding org.gnome.Sdk is fine, but we're going to have to keep the version insync which is going to be a pain, but do we want to document adding the flathub ref and everything too?

    2. Nah, I'd just link to https://flatpak.org/setup/ if needed; it has all the distros.

    I know this is fine, but I would quote these (and all the rest of the config-opts) to avoid the - - which looks like a typo for --Ddoc=false (which it isn't!).

    1. What version of flatpak-builder?

    2. 1.4.4

    3. Per https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/module-sources.html it's supposed to be tar-gzip but I guess it's okay with tar-gz either way I'm making it tar-gzip

    Maybe can add that this step can be skipped if you have the SDK on either user or system. At least it worked for me fine with the Sdk on --system, even with the later build on --user.
