AppDirAssistant source

[kolbycrouch]

Hello everyone, I've found the source for the AppImageAssitant, but I don't see any for AppDirAssistant, is this available?

[probono]

Simply unpack the AppDirAssistant...

You can take AppImageExtract, and use it to unpack AppImageAssistant and AppDirAssistant.
They are written in Python, so the source is right there. Let me know if you have questions/issues.

The file "runtime" is a binary blob, where's the source code for that?

I think moving the source to a source repository would be great, for people to improve over AppImage and adapt it to their needs. I'm tempted to upload it to Github, but of course you're the creator, so it's up to you

Besides, have you shared the scripts you use to help you develop AppImage? I'm very interested in stuff like the one you use to test any AppImage on several cramfs chroots, it'd be something of huge value for anyone wanting to make portable packages.

Sources are at http://portablelinuxapps.org/source/

@Probono; That source directory as well as the doc's directories appear to be MIA.

[probono]

Sorry, fixed.

Would it be possible to upload the source to a public repository (github, etc), to ease collaboration and improvement?

For instance, by default AppImageAssistant doesn't allow to provide an AppDir as parameter to bypass the UI and require less clicks in the interactive process of modifying an AppDir, creating an AppImage and testing it, so I hacked some scripts together in http://sourceforge.net/p/pg4l/code, however some features could be probably integrated in an upstream AppImageKit repository

I will upload AppDirAssistant to GitHub once I have done some cleanup before. Please have some patience.
