[bug#73842] [PATCH v2 0/3] pack: Add support for AppImage pack format.

[Noé Lopez]

Hi Ludovic,

Thank you for the complete review, here is a new version of the patch
containing the changes you asked for. Sebastian did the news entry in
three languages (!!!) while I made the tests and git magic.

Can you explain why you want support for symlinks? I can’t think of a
use for it since AppImages are only meant to be ran through their
entrypoint, not unpacked.

A summary of changes since previous patch:

– Improved package definition for [squash]fuse-for-appimage and
  bumped versions;
– Added news entry;
– Added tests;
– Applied code suggestions from review:
  – Don’t use (use-modules) on non-toplevel;
  – Change -R warning in documentation, and ensure two spaces
    after dots;
  – Change appimage-type2-runtime synopsis and description;
  – Document and improve (concatenate-files)
  – Use better lambdas for `profile' and populating the store.
  – chmod 555 the resulting AppImage

Have a wonderful week-end,
Noé Lopez
