Hi Sebastian,

Sebastian Dümcke <code@sam-d.com> skribis:

just wanted to chime in. Since last week I have some working code to
generate AppImages with guix pack. I was planning on tidying this up
for submission over the next weeks.
There is still work to do regarding documentation, adding options
specific to the AppImage format, building the AppImageKit runtime from
source and a lot of testing.

This is great news!  Looking forward to incorporating those changes.

However, I believe that the remaining effort is around 8-10 hours. I
am happy to hand the code over to you to finish up and co-mentor
(though this patch would be my first contribution to guix) if you
think this is appropriate.

It does sound like it jeopardizes this specific project.  In a way,
that’s a good problem to have as a project, but it does mean that
Zachary would need to look for another project (which could still be
related to ‘guix pack’).

Thoughts?

There's always the option of trying to create flatpaks using Guix.

I'd love this feature! It would probably more useful than making AppImages too.

Warmly,
Ada
