For those that like AppImages, SNAPS, flatpacks and other such wasteful (IMHO)
things: have fun with them.
I've been unable to make them reliably work on my Debian system and don't see
any value I trying to make them work. I would much rather have developers put
their time into developing RG and provide proven packages like DEB (covers all
Debian derivatives) and RPM. I think RG is only distributed as source right
now, right?
I've been able to compile RG, including dev snapshots without problems. Sorting
out dependencies was a one-time thing for me. I don't think RG's dependencies
change very often.
Perhaps the "dependency hell" was more due to dated documentation on the RG
website about dependencies and compiling?
