Fwd: [ktechlab/ktechlab] AppImage for Linux (#47)

[Zoltan Padrah]

FYI, see below and if someone feels like packaging, feel free to look into
it

For me currently it is low priority, I consider that porting to Qt5 would
be more beneficial than binary packages.

Have fun,

 Zoltan

Providing an AppImage <http://appimage.org/> would have, among others,
these advantages:

   - Applications packaged as an AppImage can run on many distributions
   (including Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, CentOS, elementaryOS, Linux Mint, and
   others)
   - One app = one file = super simple for users: just download one
   AppImage file, make it executable
   <http://discourse.appimage.org/t/how-to-make-an-appimage-executable/80>,
   and run
   - No unpacking or installation necessary
   - No root needed
   - No system libraries changed
   - Works out of the box, no installation of runtimes needed
   - Optional desktop integration with appimaged
   - Optional binary delta updates, e.g., for continuous builds (only
   download the binary diff) using AppImageUpdate
   - Can optionally GPG2-sign your AppImages (inside the file)
   - Works on Live ISOs
   - Can use the same AppImages when dual-booting multiple distributions
   - Can be listed in the AppImageHub <https://appimage.github.io/> central
   directory of available AppImages
   - Can double as a self-extracting compressed archive with the
   --appimage-extract parameter
   - No repositories needed. Suitable/optimized for air-gapped (offline)
   machines

Here is an overview <https://appimage.github.io/apps> of projects that are
already distributing upstream-provided, official AppImages.

Please let me know if you are interested, I'm happy to help making an
AppImage for Linux.

If you have questions, AppImage developers are on #AppImage on
irc.freenode.net.
