Wow, what a massive pull request. Must have been a lot of work @Drsheppard01.

  • Some GitHub repos or some apps where changed. How can we know that the changed repos are really from the original project's authors?
  • Sometimes you changed URLs to point to /releases on GitHub. Did you test whether our test script can actually discover the most recent AppImage from there?

Hi @probonopd! Initially, I wanted to edit all links in the markdown document, which would be many times more

Some GitHub repos or some apps where changed. How can we know that the changed repos are really from the original project's authors?

The link policy was quite simple: if the project link has changed or the author's name has changed and there is a direct relink to github, then I change the link to the current one

If some community build of the project is no longer supported due to the fact that the main project has its own version, then I change the link to the official build (example todoist, rawtherapee)

Sometimes you changed URLs to point to /releases on GitHub. Did you test whether our test script can actually discover the most recent AppImage from there?

No, I didn't use the test script (didn't notice it in the repo) so I decided to do an automatic check on pull request

The test script right now processes only one change/app at a time. So we'd need one PR per changed file in data/. I'm not git expert enough to know whether there is a way to open those PRs automatically... but doing it by hand would probably take forever.
