A template for converting Appimages to Flatpaks to be distributed on Flathub.

Appimage-to-Flatpak Template

This is a fork of the Lunar Client Wrapper

Goal is to provide an easy template for people to use, to convert Appimages to Flatpaks.

Why? Appimages are not user friendly:

• They have no Appstream metadata
• no Desktop entries (meanwhile a setup script could easily provide this)
• they don't update in a sane way
• they can be a vector for Viruses, replicating the Windows-Way, which nobody should follow
• Other than external Android APKs for example. They can't be updated and are not cryptographically verified. So you need to verify the origin every time

appimage-to-flatpak's Issues

fix leftovers, add instructions

this is not a template yet but just a single project that did this.

required tooling

• get sources
• get needed dependencies of source, add them somewhere nice
• instructions for metadata, make the metadata fit new flathub requirements with explanations in comments
