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

[Brenton Horne]

I've been able to cut down on its size from 84 MB to 65 MB. Here is my yaml:

```yaml
app: Geany
binpatch: true

ingredients:
  packages:
    - geany
    - geany-plugins
    - python-gtk2
  dist:     trusty
  sources:
    - deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty main universe
  ppas:
    - brentonhorne/geany2

script:
  - cp ./usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/geany.svg .
  - rm -rf ./bin/

I shared it because under the `script` section you can see what I have deleted from the AppImage. Every time I deleted something new I tested it out in a Debian 8 (with KDE Plasma 4) and Fedora 24 VM (with GNOME 3.20) that have the minimum amount of software installed (so as to make these tests fair) and found nothing to have gone awry. 

Can I delete OpenLDAP libs? I know very little about OpenLDAP but it seems to be crypto-related.
