distro agnostic release or at least build instructions

Open zany130 opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Not everyone is using ubuntu (I'm using arch which has an outdated version on the aur) and thus a distro agonistic release would be nice such as the pling store (kde store and gnome-look)

Build instructions are available in doc/COMPILING.md . A distro-agnostic release might be difficult because of the nature of extension libraries, since this isn't a standalone program per se.

that's why I said something like the kde store it could in theory be packaged as a dolphin plugin and released there. Then any distro running KDE can install and use it like this.

gnome-look is the equivalent for gnome although I don't know if they have plugins for there file manager ( I remember that was a thing but that was a while ago when it was still called Nautilus.) gnome doesn't really support plugins and extensions anymore
