Of course, there are source code, you are in open source world.

We support AppImage, not FlatPak. n fact, the KDE build server must
produce a flatpak version of digiKam, but it do not work (compilation
is broken due to weird dependencies rules in the server).

We compile (in fact i compile on my computers) the AppImage bundles.
All is done from the scratch and take around 6-7 hours.

Scripts source code (bash, python, cmake) is here :
