[Enhancement] Provide AppImage instead of deb package

Open einhander opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Linux distributives use many format of packages, debian-like use deb and redhat based - rpm, also there is gento, arch linux and other that is source based. Different versions of distributive can supply different version of system libraries. So provide only a deb package cuts-of rest of linux distributive users.

Describe the solution you'd like Provide linux package in AppImage format. In basic it's one file that can be executed on any modern linux system. It's already used in Freecad. More about AppImage https://appimage.org/

I'm trying to create appimage from deb package, but without any success. It seems that appimage creation should be made during compile stage using dotnet publish. There is example of how to deploy .NET Core (Mono) applications as an AppImage using dotnet publish -f netcoreapp3.1 -r linux-x64 from within a .cs program. https://github.com/ppy/osu-deploy/blob/697a49e9602502a2b7a899c0dff5383f6512d5d2/Program.cs#L207-L243
