Hello everybody this is my first post and well I'm kinda new so if i made a mistake please forgive me
Well as the title says:
Is there a winehq appimage or is not possible to implement?
i know that wine is very robust software with multiple functions as it has to implement an entire set of apis and system calls and stuff but my question is for an easier way to distribute and implement this great masterpiece of software, and release the end users from the outdated versions many of the distros out there implement in their repos.
for anyone that does not know what is an appimage, here is a link to http://appimage.org/ that is the official site proposing this software distribution approach, basically it is a way to distribute your software on a single file that contains the binary and every dependency that's needed for the oldest linux system distro that is targeted for installation.
one example of use of this distribution system is Krita a multi-layer raster image editor
https://krita.org/es/descargar/krita-desktop-es/
the only thing you need to do after download the krita appimage is to set the file as executable and you are ready to go.
it would be nice if this approach is considered by the developers, but if not yet implemented i hope you guys think about it.
have a nice day!

I recommend asking about AppImage support on the [email protected] mailing list...
Since not many Wine Developers are active on these forums.

Yes, it is possible to package a Windows application together with WINE and a $WINEPREFIX into an AppImage. See this: https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit ... plications
