[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Feature request: Please provide an AppImage for Geany (#1303)

[elextr]

In general the Geany project has decided it will NOT provide packages itself for anything other than windows (and that only just).  The Geany developers are not experts in any packaging system, and to become so, and to provide such packages would detract from the effort available for Geany development.  Instead a wonderful set of contributors who are experts in packaging provide the packages for various systems.

If somebody wishes to provide so called portable packages, appimages, flatpacks, snaps or whatever and host them (eg on github), and most importantly MAINTAIN them, they are most welcome to, and Geany is happy to provide a link to them.  But it is unlikely that the project itself will start providing such packages.
