First, I would like to congratulate you for the AlphaPlot. I believe that this project has a promising future.

I don't know if you intend to package the application in other formats, but I packaged AlphaPlot in a AppImage:

Repository

Direct download

I know that this is not the best way to package an AppImage and it is necessary to have glibc >= 2.29 (Ubuntu 18.04 has glibc = 2.27).

I believe that a flatpak format would be even better. However, I haven't been able to compile with flatpak-builder so far.

I hope that I have contributed in some way.

Thanks a lot! packaging apps for all the Linux distros is an awful task at least for me :). I will add the download link to read me file.
flatpak is better but atleast now people who strugle with building from source code can use this. Thanks for the contribution.

added download link to releases. do you mind if I upload the appimage to SourceForge ?

filipestevao commented 4 years ago

Of course not. Feel free to upload to SourceForge. I'm happy to help.
