In your opinion, maybe. but to anyone who actually prefers appimages? Not so much. Just drop it. We've already acknowledged that they are not the same. On 17/06/2023 17:37, Marcell Meszaros wrote: I am not at all against AppImage. But the latest wire-desktop is in Arch repo, so having wire-de

Marcell, As you so clearly pointed out, the TUs are trusted to enforce some quality quidelines on the AUR. You are not a TU. You claim I have not refuted your claims, however there is little reason to do so, as I have not seen you refute any of mine. I suggest we both drop this as I suggested

One can also install many things on the AUR by using flatpak or a package manager. Does not mean they should be removed. Just stop with the seeming anti-appimage, ok? On Sat, 17 Jun 2023, 13:51 Marcell Meszaros, wrote: > One can also install a standalone AppImage file by running it. It does not

Hi Marcell, That may be the case, but there are many reasons to want to use an appimage over a natively installed application. And, given that it is not the same package, it need not be deleted. Taking the same logic to it's extreme, one could argue that a -git and a -bin version of a package

• AUR submission guidelines say that uploaded packages should be useful to users and significantly different than Arch repo packages. • Arch Electron packaging guidelines suggest to strip out the bundled Electron/Chromium runtime from application package. AUR/wire-desktop-appimage does not fulf

> We've already acknowledged that they are not the same. No, we can only acknowledge that we disagree on that point. I believe that Trusted Users are trusted to enforce some quality guidelines on AUR. Otherwise AUR will just descent into more and more chaos. Which does not benefit either users

I am not at all against AppImage. But the latest wire-desktop is in Arch repo, so having wire-desktop-appimage in AUR is pointless. On 17 June 2023 18:23:08 GMT+02:00, Ashleigh Rowe wrote: >One can also install many things on the AUR by using flatpak or a package >manager. Does not mean they sh

One can also install a standalone AppImage file by running it. It does not need to be packaged via an AUR PKGBUILD. On 16 June 2023 18:55:00 GMT+02:00, Ashleigh Rowe wrote: >Hi Marcell, > >That may be the case, but there are many reasons to want to use an appimage >over a natively installed app

MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for wire-desktop-appimage [2]: Duplicate of repo package, not needed: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/wire-desktop/ This is an Electron-based application, so there is no benefit in using this AppImage in a PKGBUILD. The repo version has the exact sa
