Hope your work building this AppImages work on Any Distro.
The new ArchImage of GIMP is ready! Only 97 MB of space (versus the previous 150 MB of the PPA-based one)!

For now I worked on the Stable version... so I'll switch to GIMP-DEV from AUR soon.
Mission complete!

Hi everyone, I'm working on a complete switch from PPAs to Arch Linux-based AppImages using JuNest as a portable and inbuilt system.
The game is simple: install everything into a portable Arch Linux using pacman or yay, remove the unnecessary stuff and export to an AppImage.
I wrote this script to built the AppImage on your pc, I suggest to create a temporary directory to do this:
If the mirrorlist is updated correctly (see lines 28-30) the script should build the AppImage in two minutes or less. In case of problems with mirrorlist, comment lines 28-30, JuNest will use the defaults.
And when the script has finished, just run the AppImage:
Final size is about 250 MB (this is because I've removed a lot of stuff, if not it would be more than 500 MB).
The AppImage works great, I only need to reduce sizes.
If you are interested in improve this or have suggestions, contact me here.

I'm trying to switch my PPA-based AppImages to ArchImages, being them developed by third-party developers without guarantees of continuity, and I hope my Appimages live long, also without me.
Greetings.
