It should be pretty straightforward to do by using https://github.com/probonopd/linuxdeployqt with Travis CI as shown in the examples on https://github.com/probonopd/linuxdeployqt#projects-using-linuxdeployqt.\r\n\r\nProviding an [AppImage](http://appimage.org/) would have, among others, these advantages:\r\n- Applications packaged as an AppImage can run on many distributions (including Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, CentOS, elementaryOS, Linux Mint, and others)\r\n- One app = one file = super simple for users: just download one AppImage file, [make it executable](http://discourse.appimage.org/t/how-to-make-an-appimage-executable/80), and run\r\n- No unpacking or installation necessary\r\n- No root needed (except when handling snaps!)\r\n- No system libraries changed\r\n- Works out of the box, no installation of runtimes needed\r\n- Optional desktop integration with `appimaged`\r\n- Optional binary delta updates, e.g., for continuous builds (only download the binary diff) using AppImageUpdate\r\n- Can optionally GPG2-sign your AppImages (inside the file)\r\n- Works on Live ISOs\r\n- Can use the same AppImages when dual-booting multiple distributions\r\n- Can be listed in the [AppImageHub](https://appimage.github.io/) central directory of available AppImages\r\n\r\n[Here is an overview](https://github.com/probonopd/AppImageKit/wiki/AppImages) of projects that are already distributing upstream-provided, official AppImages."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/nomad-desktop/nx-software-center/issues/comments/365089841","html_url":"https://github.com/nomad-desktop/nx-software-center/issues/11#issuecomment-365089841","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/nomad-desktop/nx-software-center/issues/11","id":365089841,"user":{"login":"azubieta","id":1138094,"avatar_url":"https://avatars1.githubusercontent.com/u/1138094?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/azubieta","html_url":"https://github.com/azubieta","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/azubieta/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/azubieta/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/azubieta/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/azubieta/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/azubieta/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/azubieta/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/azubieta/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/azubieta/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/azubieta/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2018-02-12T22:48:17Z","updated_at":"2018-02-12T22:48:17Z","author_association":"OWNER","body":"Indeed we want, but we would not like it to be only limited to Nitrux.
