Oolite is packaged as an appimage (and a flatpak). Initially I set up a
traditional appimage, but these force you to build on old distros and
have old dependencies, so I switched to
https://github.com/pkgforge-dev/Anylinux-AppImages/blob/main/HOW-TO-MAKE-THESE.md.
AnyLinux appimages have modern dependencies but can run on old distros,
something we need as we are about to move from SDL 1.2 to SDL 3.4.
Cheers,
Mike

I used squashfs as an experiment to wrap app bundles inside a mountable image
as just an experiment a while back, nothing production ready yet. That's also
what AppImage uses and there is a script twightlight has to make GNUstep
AppImages. I forget where the link is offhand but we should ask twightlight in
the next GNUstep meeting.

Has anyone looked into shipping a linux equivalent to a DMG image for GNUstep
applications?
Aren’t the Gershwin guys using mountable ISOs for their app distribution or am
I mixing that up?
