I searched through the forums and can't find anything on packaging an AppImage.
The only app referenced (upwork-appimage) is no longer available.
The particular AppImage in question is:

How do I search this mailing list online?
What advice would you give with .AppImages?
I *could* rip it open, but the only snag I hit was the binary is linked to
`libhunspell-1.3.so.0` whereas Arch has `/usr/lib/libhunspell-1.6.so.0`.
Would it be a no-no to install this previous libhunspell version in /usr/lib?
If using an unextacted AppImage, where should I install the .AppImage itself?
/usr/bin/$pkgname.AppImage with a simlink from /usr/bin/$pkgname?
Cheers,
Looks like nixnote2 is already on the AUR and properly built from source,
both stable and -git.
A binary package ripped from an AppImage is probably the last thing you
should be proposing...
I am the packager of the -git package and will likely disown the pinned
package.
Could you justify your assertion?
It seems I will need to go with the whole appimage... Upstream won't change
the linkage to a versioned library filename.
