Working tree for the community fork of Songbird, Nightingale. If building, use the sb-trunk-oldxul (development) branch, with the tag 1.12.1 tag for stable, for now. The master-xul-9.0.1 branch is the current progress in building Nightingale with XULRunner 9 and builds, but is broken. All help in terms of patches and pull requests is welcome.
The created AppImage works fine on my Ubuntu 16.04 system (so far). Maybe we should provide official AppImages. This would be really helpful for people on newer system who have otherwise problems to run NG or build it from source. Afaik there's also some way to sign the AppImage.

I can build an AppImage, a portable Linux application similar to an OSX .App, using this yaml script: https://github.com/probonopd/AppImages/blob/master/recipes/meta/Nightingale.yml
