Feature description

I would like to be able to use apt to install AppImageLauncher form your PPA so I can get updates.

Proposed solution

Adding PPA support for Ubuntu 24.10 (Oracular Oriole).

Alternative solutions you considered

Method 1

I tried to "trick" apt into downloading the AppImageLaucnher version for the closest version available, focal by editing /etc/apt/sources.list.d/appimagelauncher-team-ubuntu-stable-oracular.sources and replacing Suites: Oracular with Suites: focal

This did let me run sudo apt update successfully. Now sudo apt install appimagelauncher returns:

$ sudo apt install appimagelauncher
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

Unsatisfied dependencies:
 appimagelauncher : Depends: libappimage0 (>= 0.1.6) but it is not installable
Error: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Ubuntu 24.10 does not have libappimage0 available:

 apt search libappimage
libappimage-dev/oracular 1.0.4-5-4ubuntu1 amd64
  Development files for libappimage

libappimage1.0abi1t64/oracular,now 1.0.4-5-4ubuntu1 amd64 [installed]
  Core library for appimage

Method 2

Install the .deb by hand, but now I won't get updates. I do want to get security and feature patches.

Additional context

No response

If there is anything I can do to help just let me know. I can confirm that the latest .deb works just fine with my install of Ubuntu 24.10.

Please stop opening these duplicate issues. I'm not interested in maintaining a PPA. It's way too much effort. I hardly find time to fix actual bugs.
