old releases

[Jasem Mutlaq]

This is only possible now with MacOS DMGs.

For Linux, we have three technologies for a similar container:
1. AppImage
2. Flatpak
3. Snap

Over the years, I've tried all of them and none of them work
completely fine with KStars + INDI. Perhaps the closest thing that
came to it is AppImage. All don't have features for installing udev
rules AFAIK. We actually do have Flatpak and Snap packages for KStars
ALONE, without INDI. Having everything bundled would be a great
achievement for the project.

A very common complaint is:  "I just updated and my setup broke and I can go back to my good system". Sure, they could have backed up, but could we provide this service to them? BTW, of course, users who compile can do this in a straight-forward manner, but I'm assuming that those who compile are not those making that kind of complaint.
