[Feature Request] Add linux-all.tar.gz

[mahor1221]

What feature should be added to Tachidesk?

Consider adding Tachidesk-Server-v<ver>-r<rev num>-linux-all.tar.gz that contains:

tachidesk-server-browser-launcher.sh
tachidesk-server-debug-launcher.sh
tachidesk-server-electron-launcher.sh
tachidesk-server.desktop
tachidesk-server.png
tachidesk-server.jar

And remove Tachidesk-Server-v<ver>-r<rev num>-linux-x64.tar.gz If it's not needed?

Why/Project's Benefit/Existing Problem

It makes doing universal changes to AUR, MPR, PPA and other possible future packages ( NixPkg and RPM ) a lot easier.

I can add it if you want

Making a flatpak for universal distro support is better

We could very much do your proposal but the scripts need to be changed a bit and check for java/electron executable availablity

[mahor1221]

I didn't mean to say using it as way of supporting a lot of distros. It's like a replacement for plain Tachidesk-Server-*.jar in release section so I can make AUR, MPR and PPA more automated and put less time on updating them. Also the compressed tar.gz file is about 10% smaller.

Electron launcher script checks for electron availability in AUR and various deb packages so it's not like we are not doing it already.

Tachidesk-Server-v<ver>-r<rev num>-linux-all.tar.gz means any cpu architecture(in our naming scheme) and it could potentially support any distro, why not have it?

so I can make AUR, MPR and PPA more automated and put less time on updating them

Why don't you make CI scripts for automatic updating? I had the idea for the tachidesk-preview AUR package and even made an account ArMor007Bot for automation

Could you clarify a little I wasn't able to understand completely. Does "it" refer to Flatpack? If it does then Yeah sure I think me or somebody else can make a Flatpack someday. but it's not related to my request.

That's really cool I'll definitely check how did you do it 👍. but the bot and the tar.gz file can coexist.

I've deployed the Idea in Tachidesk-Sorayomi. Icon and desktop file are included in the tar.gz archive. Its icon has changed today and the AUR package's icon changed too without manual intervention. In the case of Tachidesk-Server where I have to update the package across four different platforms manually a tar.gz archive has a lot more value and this is not something I can do with a bot easily.

That can work, make a PR
