(enhancement) AppImage Distribution For Linux #3

Open DeathKhan opened 2 years ago

DeathKhan commented 2 years ago

AppImages require no dependencies and are distro agnostic, when creating linux prebuilt I recommend AppImage.

Hi, I'm not a Linux user, I just use an Ubuntu VM to build and test. So far I have chosen to build DEB and RPM packages because they seem the easiest for a non expert like me. I did read about AppImage, and I was unsure if I would be able to build and test with that system without depending on anyone else for future versions.

Still, if you want to create AppImage versions of Vircon32 packages you are free to do it. They may be included in the GitHub releases too!

It's fairly easy to ready using linuxdeploy, you may find this useful: https://docs.appimage.org/packaging-guide/from-source/native-binaries.html#examples

Ok ,I will have a look at this and do some tests at some point. Right now I don't have time to do this (there are other priorities)
