Arch-Deployer VS arch2appimage

Arch2AppImage is useless, just like my Arch-Deployer (Arch2AppImage is inspired by my project, see it's README), I've also created an "issue" on its repository to explain why I've abandoned it, see https://github.com/hanzala123/arch2appimage/issues/25 ).

Hi everybody, I'm the developer of Arch-Deployer and AM Application Manager

I have posted previously that it's possible to go from AUR source ->AppImage -> Firejail with a script like Arch-Deployer for the basis of a secure OS.

Hi, I'm the developer of Arch-Deployer, a script to bulk download Arch Linux packages from the main repositories (and from Chaotic-AUR) with all their dependences to finally compile AppDirs to study (the AppRun script and other internal components) before their exportation in AppImage packages. When I created it, my goal was to create AppImages to upload on my other repository named AM Application Manager, to made all these programs available for all the others GNU/Linux distributions. But I had not taken care of a particular issue: GLIBC compatibility!

If I have time enough, I wanna try to create a script that automatizes all the processes, also for you developers, but my knowledge is limited to the download of packages from Debian and derivatives or from Arch Linux to create these structures, I'm not much good in compiling these programs by myself into a chroot, I'm just an enthusiast.

I have not added support for Chaotic-AUR, you can consult this issue to check the reason. You will most likely need another script to export your programs to the AUR to make them executable on any other distribution (I've already done this for some programs in my other project, "AM", the Application Manager).

I'm a creator of AppImage packages, the basis always used (and recommended) is to create them based on old distributions for compatibility reasons. With this solution I want to try to break that rule. Both my Arch-deployer and the better known arch2appimage failed at this (and were archived as a result).

less than two years ago I published a bash script that can that downloads a package from the Arch repository or from ChaoticAUR with all its dependences, and this was a big success for me on this community and on github. Later someone else, inspired by this project, have developed its own tool with a better code and easier to use (DT on YouTube did also a review on it, here). Everithing is great, I'm glad about all this, but... I stopped work on my repo more than 1 year ago (about december 2021) for a reason, the same that I think the developer of arch2appimage have understand later (and I said it into an issue, here), that's why its project have no more commits since 9 months. Arch-based AppImages are not a good idea, here are two reasons:

If you are in Arch, arch2appimage can easily make packages from Chaotic AUR.
