Help Wanted: Create AppImages for linux
We'd love some community support to help us support some of the common linux distribution channels.
This ticket is for supporting AppImages
.
If you are interested in helping us support this distributable format please let us know!
I don't know if I'll have the time to maintain this, but I decided to see how easy this would be.
I followed DistroTube's tutorial, and successfully created a package for Ghostery. I created this with the second-most-recent release to see if updates would work.
The problem came up when I launched the appimage. It seems to function fine, but it gave me this error:
I believe that appimages have their own way of updating via AppImageUpdate, so we'd either have to:
- have to disable the normal update code to set up AppImageUpdate,
- figure out how to update the AppImage via the built-in Ghostery update process, or
- disable updating altogether.
TLDR: Packaging the program is simple, updating it is harder
