This patch, when merged, will build continuous builds for Linux and bundle them as an AppImage on Travis CI (need to enable Travis CI for the repository like shown here).

Providing an AppImage would have, among others, these advantages:

Here is an overview of projects that are already distributing upstream-provided, official AppImages.

Thanks for merging.

Instead of storing AppImage builds temporarily for 14 days each on transfer.sh (where no one finds them because the URL is hidden in the build log), you could use GitHub Releases to store the binaries permanently. This way, they would be visible on the Releases page of your project. This is what I recommend. See https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/deployment/releases/. If you want to do this for continuous builds, also see https://github.com/probonopd/uploadtool.
