AppImageDaemon2 (aid2 - proposed)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatives
|
||||
- Per https://docs.appimage.org/introduction/software-overview.html#appimaged
|
||||
- appimaged
|
||||
- AppImageKit
|
||||
- appimagetool
|
||||
- AppImageUpdate
|
||||
- AppImageLauncher
|
||||
|
||||
Problem
|
||||
Several appimage helper programs exist
|
||||
|
||||
Planned Features
|
||||
- Folder watching; ie ~/Applications
|
||||
- Similar to appimaged
|
||||
- Config file; ~/.local/aid2/aid2.conf
|
||||
- Stores watched location(s)
|
||||
- Feature missing from appimaged (?)
|
||||
- Stores web address to appimage repositor[y|ies]
|
||||
- RunByDefault | InstallByDefault | InstallRunByDefault | AskByDefault
|
||||
- appimage source location overrides by app - in case this can't be determined from the appimage directly
|
||||
- Python (?)
|
||||
- Right click (context) menu (functions provided by aid2)
|
||||
- Appimage
|
||||
- Run
|
||||
- Install | Remove
|
||||
- Update
|
||||
- About
|
||||
- Look into Mint-Update integration
|
||||
- Look into mintinstall (Mint app store) integration for appimages, similar to how Flatpaks are integrated
|
||||
- Use local tools and binaries when working on appimages
|
||||
- Security - avoid executing runtimes distributed with appimages which may be untrustworthy
|
||||
- Documentation
|
||||
- Manpages (?)
|
||||
- Missing from appimaged (?) and others (?)
|
||||
- Primary distribution as .deb package
|
||||
- Dogfooding is cool and all, but time and place. This is meant to add key functionality to the OS
|
||||
- Daemonize (obvs.)
|
||||
- Minimal user interaction - should appear as if built into the native OS by default
|
||||
- Possibly windows to confirm actions (xyz Installed; xyz Removed; No updates found | xyz Updated to 1.2.3.4 | etc)
