appimage-builder 0.5.1

Recipe based AppImage creation meta-tool

# appimage-builder

appimage-builder allows packing applications along with all of its dependencies. It uses traditional GNU/Linux software package tools like apt or yum to obtain binaries and resolve dependencies creating a self-sufficient bundle. The embedded binaries are configured to be relocatable and to interact with the rest. Finally, the whole bundle is compressed as a squashfs filesystem and attached to a launcher binary using appimagetool making a nice AppImage.

Features:

• Recipe based.

• Self-sufficient bundles.

• Backward and forwards compatibility.

• Cross bundling (don’t confuse it with cross-compilation, that’s out of the tool scope).

• Basic license compliance (package license files will be bundled).

• apt package manager support.

• yum package manager support (experimental).
