Status

Currently, this project is still very immature and some details are undecided yet about this project. The currently planned and implemented parts of this project are:

• @reforged/maker-appimage – a simple yet performant AppImage maker, managing tasks asynchronously. Unlike to official Forge makers, this ones directly implements Electron Forge packaging, rather than wrapping another Node.js package.

  • Emit / show current task and its progress.
  • Support passing and generating update information to AppImages (zsync).
  • Support AppImage signing (gpg).

• @reforged/maker-alpm – maker for Arch Linux pacman packages. It should avoid the use of makepkg, but generate the packaged version directly. Like @reforged/maker-appimage, it should be designed to executes multiple tasks in asynchronous manner. Currently WIP.

• @reforged/maker-flatpak – an improved version of Flatpak maker, with similar concepts to maker-appimage: be asynchronous and directly implement maker rather than using other Node modules. It also aims to fix some bugs with the current implementation, optimally supporting @electron-forge/publisher-github.
