An example AppImage is available from https://github.com/probonopd/qgit/releases.
It might be worth to put the update of the desktop file and the new rsvg icon into a separate PR. They are generally useful.
Once this PR gets merged (which I still hope it will), they will be available for use by all builds, not just for the AppImage. The only thing I did not do yet is alter the CMakeLists.txt
file but for someone who knows CMake it should be trivial to do.
This PR, when merged, will compile this application on Travis CI upon each
git push
, and upload an AppImage to your GitHub Releases page.Providing an AppImage would have, among others, these advantages:
appimaged
--appimage-extract
parameterHere is an overview of projects that are already distributing upstream-provided, official AppImages.
PLEASE NOTE: For this to work, you need to enable Travis CI for your repository as described here prior to merging this, if you haven't already done so. Also, You need to set up
GITHUB_TOKEN
in Travis CI for this to work; please see https://github.com/probonopd/uploadtool.If you have questions, AppImage developers are on #AppImage on irc.freenode.net.
