Separate official from community AppImages #3053
Conversation
Move AppImageUpdate to official
Create AppImageUpdate
Create Yuzu
[ci skip]
For some reason sometimes using the API token in CI doesn't work, so fall back on fetching the API without it if it fails. This can't be done 24/7 as there is a fetch limit but it's better than getting nothing
Create Yuzu
Add AppImagePool to official

So you moved (almost) everything to community? |
|
@probonopd that's what I meant here. The only other option I can think of would be to create something along the lines of |
|
@probonopd Any new thoughts on this? |
|
Well, main question is going to be: Who will be doing the sorting of all the existing AppImages? |
|
@probonopd I'd have no issue sorting a lot of them, but it wouldn't be an instant one-off effort, probably something over the course of months. I also imagine many devs would want to update their own applications to reflect being official builds as well, so they'd likely send in PRs. For the sake of existing AppImages, I've also come to the realization that adding a separate (temporary) identification for them, indicating that they're in the process of being curated might be best. The unverified directory should not be accepting new AppImages, and the end goal of it would be to manually sort everything into their proper identification and then eventually be removed. |
|
It's a large undertaking and one I don't have the time for at the moment. |
|
@probonopd Yeah I'd love to! |
|
Maintaining this repository properly needs more time than I currently have, I'd estimate a few hours each week. So depending on how committed to working on this over a longer period of time, I'd be happy to hand over maintainership. How serious are you about your time commitment? |
|
@probonopd I can definitely do a couple hours per week |
Fixes #3052
I've tested this with a few well-known official AppImages and it seems to work pretty well.
