We already have a Flatpak recipe and I don't think anyone on the team knows how to create AppImages. Is there any way we could get the Flatpak compiled on a regular basis in the binary-factory and pushed to the KDE Flatpak repo? (@scarlettclark, maybe? :-))

This exists: https://github.com/appimage-packages/kmail and it seems it was created by @scarlettclark .

I could talk with someone from AppImage to help us if you guys are onboard with this.

Oh, cool! I'd very much prefer if we had a Kontact appimage instead of kmail/korganizer/.... as it helps to sell the brand of Kontact as a whole.

@scarlettclark, if there's anything we can help you with to make full Kontact appimage, just let me know :-)

@obogdan We are definitely fine with this, but we need help with it. I'm willing to keep the appimage up-to-date, as long as the updates are trivial (like updating tarball names and checksums), but I'd welcome someone from the community to help us with this (testing, solving issues, etc.)

Hi, I just saw this. Oops. That is old, but I reckon it still works. I can test and fix it up!

Hello, just letting you know, I am working on this. Where do you keep the Flatpak recipe? I am only wondering because I do not wish to use the github appimages repos. That was old Blue Systems work and this is free time work, I no longer do appimages for BS. Could we create a packaging/ folder? Thanks

Hi Scarlett. The official stable Flathub Flatpak is on Flathub github: http://github.com/flathub/org.kde.kontact

We have https://cgit.kde.org/flatpak-kde-applications.git for nightly Flatpak builds. contains also org.kde.kontact recipe.

Ah ha, yes I forgot I have https://cgit.kde.org/appimage-packaging.git/ I started working on appimages for binary-factory a long time ago but with conflicts with $job I stopped. I am resurrecting that work and kontact is the lucky recipient of being my test application. Hopefully Ben will let me use my existing work rather than start from scratch.
