[A.I.U.] Allows you to update in a decentralized way using embedded information.

AppImageUpdate ; lets you update AppImages in a decentral way using information embedded in the AppImage itself.

What exactly are you requesting?

* self-updating apps.
* application packages that do not bloat the system with their own dependency files
* a package translation script that converts standard packages directly to * .tcz

Nobody who manages any servers wants this, unless they just hate themselves.

Pretty sure TC already has this for most extensions. But people still want appimages to run. Pick one.

Maybe you haven't noticed, but no two distro's packages have the same dependencies. There is no such thing as a standard package.

Still working that "extension request bot" thing.

I didn't realize there was an AppImage preinstallation file (over 100MB)! :( not interesting anymore! :(

The appimage for Subsurface is 108 MB and it doesn't work on TC. The Subsurface extension I built is 10 MB and it works. Maybe you could redirect some of your effort from posting to compiling. That would be way more helpful to everyone.
