Please provide an appimage
Can we have an answer regarding this? AppImage is universally supported on Linux. It should be the de-facto solution when you do not wish to provide distribution specific packages.
Here is a script that will download the snap and re-package it as an AppImage: https://gist.github.com/syldrathecat/2ecbd8aa15b3e92ebdcf85d2fcbdc383
After running the script, rocketchat-desktop-3.6.0.AppImage
is created in the current directory.
apt install jq squashfs-tools
on Debian)cp appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage /usr/local/bin/appimagetool
)The AppImage may not be as portable as expected, and the script may break with future revisions or removal of snap store APIs.
I hope this helps someone!
