Windows audio plugins in Linux DAWs, vendor managers included.
Add this repo once, then install and update like any other Flatpak app:
flatpak remote-add --if-not-exists --user vstenv https://dguedry.github.io/vstenv/vstenv.flatpakrepo
flatpak install --user vstenv io.github.dguedry.vstenvUpdates arrive with flatpak update, or through your desktop's software app.
The GNOME 50 runtime comes from Flathub, so that remote needs to be configured too.
vstenv shares one Wine session with the DAWs running on your machine, which
needs a permission (--talk-name=org.freedesktop.Flatpak) that Flathub
treats as leaving the sandbox entirely. That permission is what lets a plugin
loaded by your DAW and this app talk to the same wineserver; without
it the vendor managers crash and plugins hang. So the app is hosted here
instead.
The repo is signed. The key is served beside it as
vstenv.gpg, and flatpak remote-add installs
it from the .flatpakrepo file above, so later updates are checked
against it.
Single-file bundles are still attached to every GitHub release, if you would rather not add a remote.
