I know, you just made this applications available and I'm sorry to bother you again but an Update to the newest builds would be highly appreciated.

Luckily, updating existing AppImages is quite straightforward. So I'll walk you though the process. In case you're interested in maintaining these packages, feel free to update them and upload them to the Labs area.

Code: Select all

# Get the old AppImage
wget -c "http://portablelinuxapps.org/RedNotebook%200.9.2/download"

# Extract the old AppImage to an AppDir
# (ArchiveMounter will be able to do this in the next version of Ubuntu)
sudo mount RedNotebook\ 0.9.2 /mnt -o loop
sudo cp -r /mnt RedNotebook.AppDir
sudo umount /mnt
sudo chown -R $USER RedNotebook.AppDir/
sudo chmod a+w RedNotebook.AppDir/

# Get the new deb
cd RedNotebook.AppDir/
wget -c "http://robin.powdarrmonkey.net/ubuntu/karmic/rednotebook_1.1.0-1ubuntu1~karmic1_all.deb"

# Extract the new deb into the AppDir
dpkg -x rednotebook_1.1.0-1ubuntu1~karmic1_all.deb .
rm rednotebook_1.1.0-1ubuntu1~karmic1_all.deb

# Check whether the updated AppDir still works
./AppRun

# Run the AppDir through AppImageAssistant to create a new AppImage
AppImageAssistant\ 0.8

#
# Be sure to test the resulting AppImage on all supported distribution
# otherwise it will be rejected for inclusion on the site
#

# Update AppImage name to reflect the version number
mv ../RedNotebook ../RedNotebook\ 1.1.0

That was easy, right?

Sorry, I'm not going to compile a QT app from source. But should be just as straigtforward (if you are into compiling from source, that is):

Code: Select all

# Get the old AppImage
wget -c "http://portablelinuxapps.org/GoldenDict%200.9.0/download"

# Extract the old AppImage to an AppDir
# (ArchiveMounter will be able to do this in the next version of Ubuntu)
sudo mount GoldenDict\ 0.9.0 /mnt -o loop
sudo cp -r /mnt GoldenDict.AppDir
sudo umount /mnt
sudo chown -R $USER GoldenDict.AppDir/
sudo chmod a+w GoldenDict.AppDir/

# Compile GoldenDict from GIT following the instructions on
# http://goldendict.org/download.php#building
# and replace goldendict-bin in the AppDir
# with the version just compiled

# Check whether the updated AppDir still works
./AppRun

# Run the AppDir through AppImageAssistant to create a new AppImage
AppImageAssistant\ 0.8

#
# Be sure to test the resulting AppImage on all supported distribution
# otherwise it will be rejected for inclusion on the site
#

# Update AppImage name to reflect the version number


If you decide to actually do this, be sure to leave a link to your work in the Labs section.

I compiled and created new AppImages for GoldenDict. I added them in the Labs: viewtopic.php?f=10&t=311
