Support of appimage update #168

Closed FStefanni closed 1 year ago

FStefanni commented 1 year ago

Hi,

it could be nice to support the update mechanism provided by AppImage. Here the official documentation:

https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageSpec/blob/master/draft.md#update-information

Basically, it suffice to generate a zsync file and upload it into the releases. Regards

Hi @FStefanni,

it's not in our control. The Auto-Updater comes from the underlaying framework electron and we don't have the capacity to maintain out-of-tree update path for multiple target.

Hi,

sorry, maybe I have been not clear. The mechanism I am referring to is not related to electron and it is not an auto-update mechanism. It is a mechanism implementable by any App Image, just by providing an extra file (zsync). Having such a file, App Images can be upgraded by using some tools, in a similar way as other normally installed apps. And it is not an out-of-tree, it is a file dynamically generated, which can be generated during the App Image package generation.

Regards
