How to avoid full extracting without additional makedepends?

I'm wondering how to avoid full extracting only for few files. bsdtar seems not a solution at least for squashfs-image. oech3 (talk) 08:20, 3 May 2025 (UTC)Reply

It seems AppImage supports partial extraction.
By the way, some people reports build failure at self extraction on fakeroot.
It might better to use 7z instead. oech3 (talk) 06:34, 10 September 2025 (UTC)Reply

Move to official page (or remove the page)

It seems existense of unofficial packaging guideline recommends to use `-appimage` as package name and causing many duplications with `-bin` package. This should be part of official guideline if it should be really respected. oech3 (talk) 06:36, 10 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
