Nope, as far as I know that's not a very common thing to do for electron applications?
Sure it is. Typora is installed with apt, and for VSCode, Atom... once you install the deb package, it registers a repository and the package is kept up to date. Much more convenient than an AppImage.
Okay... well, let's see how many upvotes this gets... pull request to generate the deb package and upload it to the debian repo or wherever using a github action or whatever welcome!
challenge accepted, but someone needs to fix this first: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=842420
here's the panwriter deb packaging so far: http://sid.ethz.ch/debian/panwriter/
i'm not interested doing unofficial packages, but here's a great pointer: https://www.christianengvall.se/electron-installer-debian-package/
Thanks @alexmyczko! I'd gladly accept any pull requests to make an "official apt package"...
To release a new version, currently I simply runyarn run release
on my laptop, which uploads all build artifacts to a new release on github... but if somebody has the time, we could also set up a github action that does the build and potentially pushes an apt package somewhere...
"a apt" sounds like stuttering and wrong, JFYI: https://people.phys.ethz.ch/~myczko/a-or-an/
+1 for .deb
packages and an apt repo. The Debian/Ubuntu/Mint user base is large and not everyone likes AppImages. Installation using a PPA might be easier, and who knows, maybe it’ll end up in the Debian/Ubuntu/Mint repos eventually…
Is there an up-to-date apt repository for PanWriter?
