[FEATURE REQUEST] AUR package (Linux)

Open zoeleu opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. An easy way to install Deckboard on Arch Linux.

Describe the solution you'd like An AUR package on aur.archlinux.org called deckboard-bin.

Describe alternatives you've considered Using the appimage (doesn't integrate well on desktop) or installing tarball manually (takes too much work)

Additional context debtap can be used to make AUR packages from debian packages. From there, all you have to do is maintain it when it breaks (almost never)

Hey, I think the idea is good, but I'd rather go with Flatpak that is well supported on Arch, as well on pretty much all distribution. You should even be able to drop the AppImage build to just keep a Flatpak one :)

Deckboard has a Flatpak? Didn't know.

I'm pretty sure it does not have a FlatPak release (at least none that I can find on flathub), I'm just taking advantage of your request to say, "hey, it would be even cooler if we could get a FlatPak release instead of the AppImage one" :)

We can still convert ourselves .dev package into AUR one for Arch (and its derivatives like Garuda and Manjaro) community, but it would mean doing it for each patch for Deckboard
