Make releases in appimage to provide better support across Linux distros #793

Open Sensu0 opened 4 years ago

Not all Linux users use Ubuntu. Especially those of us that want the latest available software, we like to run rolling release distros like Arch Linux, OpenSUSE Tumbleweed, Manjaro, CentOS Stream etc.

Others may like to use Debian or Redhat for thier stability.

Users with low-end hardware might use Puppy Linux, Peppermint, etc.

Releasing in appimage format would mean all of these distros are compatible with your software.

Hi guys, is there any update about this? It is extremely important to have an official AppImage Thanks

I use Docker images for that reason (for OpenSUSE mainly). You are free to build these yourself or use my image https://hub.docker.com/r/v6net/open-eid

I created a Flatpak bundle for those that use Flatpak: https://github.com/oskarkook/qdigidoc-flatpak/releases

I agree that official AppImage and Snap packages would be nice (as well as Flatpak, of course). Browser extension could be distributed separately, in my opinion.

Thank you for the proposal. We have added analysis of the ID-software packaging options (Snap, Flatpak, Appimage) in our roadmap to provide better support across Linux distributions (planned to begin at the end of this year).

Just for info. Seems like there needs to be another build for Fedora 41 soon. https://github.com/LudovicRousseau/PCSC/issues/199 https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/pcsc-lite/pcsc-lite/

pcsc-lite-2.3.0-1.fc41 update is ready for testing
