Beta-Launcher for Linux

Hi, I made a rpm package. Problem is that I don’t know if it works any where else than fedora 21 (where I made it). You can try it here, but I cant promise anything. I tested the installing of the Engine in “ubuntu” mode, but it could not install the dependencies when executing setup.sh. The Project-Management works.

However, maybe I’ll start learning how to make Flatpaks, they are looking promising. I would just have to make sure Flatpaks are available on any distro I want to target. At the moment I always need to make the AUR, the ".deb and the “.rpm” in its own virtual machine, this needs space on my hard drive and is time consuming :D.

One more thing I have to announce, I’ll be on vacation starting from 24.06.2016 for four weeks. I won’t be able to develop anything else at this time. However, you are free to make contributions, post bugs or anything else you can imaging related to the launcher

Thanks a lot, man! I will test it on OpenSUSE.

I have been making pressure on creating one format for all distros. Having many package formats is idiotism, especially for software developers like you. Flatpak is great idea. But i don’t know if it is supported by all distros and maybe under Gnome only. I’m not sure. However, what about Snap. I know probably all main distros support it or will support soon, like OpenSUSE. Ubuntu devs are ready to work for other distros. I know there’s a close cooperation between Ubuntu and OpenSUSE, so there’s a strong hope that Snap will be available in OpenSUSE Leap 42.2 that should appear at the end of this year. Hope it will be the universal file format for all distros. Devs’ life will be much easier.

Thank you. Have a good time on vacation. For sure, you deserved that :).
