Provide alternative installers for linux #175

Closed Upacesky-26 closed 5 months ago

Upacesky-26 commented 1 year ago

Hi, it would be great if there were alternative installers for linux, as not all distributions use the .deb package format. Snap, flatpak or AppImage come to mind (with access to their stores), or just a binary installer like ardour or zrythm.

Hello @Upacesky-26,

Thank you for opening this issue. I've tried to package the app in a snap file but i'm struggling with some virtualization issues for now.

It's not on my top priority list, but it could be available one day :)

As mentionned in #203

I've already dig into packaging OwlPlug as a Flatpak distribution. Most of the remaining work is on build automation to generates and upload release artifacts.

There are more and more feedback from linux users over the years, so i'll try to prioritize this.

Hello !

I decided to move forward with AppImages. I made good progress on pakaging in https://github.com/DropSnorz/OwlPlug/pull/225, so there is high chances to see OwlPlug packaged as AppImage for the next release 😉

AppImage package is now available with OwlPlug 1.26.0
