[Citadel Development] Re: New idea: Citadel AppImage

[IGnatius T Foobar]

  
 Tonight I have been playing around with AppImage and it's looking promising
so far. 
  
 With just an hour or two of tinkering I was able to build an AppImage 
containing
the Citadel Server and all of its dependencies, wrapped up all nice and snug
in a single binary executable.  The really neat thing is that since AppImages
have access to the host filesystem, it will be able to use /usr/local/citadel
as-is, which means we should be able to allow sites to switch between AppImage
and Easy Install, in either direction, as often as they want to. 
  
 It's running on my development server, which is kind of cool, I might even
consider putting this stuff into the main tree.
