Description of problem:
I'm currently trying to convert a locally self-built rpm into a self-built flatpak application. We would like to publish this self-built flatpak app via a self-hosted flatpak service. 

Question #1:
Might such an idea currently be possible to be implemented?

Currently it is already possible for me to built a patched version of the clang-tools-extra rpm. I start with the following source rpm
https://mirror.23m.com/fedora/linux/updates/35/Everything/source/tree/Packages/c/clang-13.0.0-3.fc35.src.rpm
I changed the spec file to include the necessary patch.

I build the multiple binary rpms of the source rpm inside a dockerized container triggered via a gitlab-ci runner.

The built rpms are uploaded to an instance of a JFrog Artifactory service.

Theoretically the built rpms might come thus from a ftp server at this point.

Up until here everything works.

Now I would like to build a flatpak application in a further dockerized container.

I would like to follow more or less the description given in: http://janberan.tech/2021/02/rpm2flatpak/
But it seems that the commands used are only using rpms available in the fedora repo.
The commands given in this description look like they are very fedora centric and depending on the fedora infrastructure.

Question #2:
Do you know of any better description to setup the infrastructure needed for my plan?

Question #3:
It looks like the command used in the referenced description from above
'fedmod rpm2flatpak clang-tools-extra'
only works with rpms in the fedora repo. What am i supposed to do here to reference my self-built rpms?

This message is a reminder that Fedora Linux 35 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora Linux 35 on 2022-12-13.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
'version' of '35'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora Linux version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora Linux 35 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora Linux, you are encouraged to change the 'version' to a later version
prior to this bug being closed.
