Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

First Look at LURE! Bringing AUR to All Linux Distros
If this sample build script is anything to go by, the script contributors would need to specify all the different sets of dependencies themselves. Someone would need to automate that process for the project to do anything useful.

LURE 0.0.2 Released
To find the less obvious bugs and missing features, and to increase the usefulness of LURE, I'd like to ask anyone who is willing to add packages to the repo at https://github.com/Arsen6331/lure-repo. The documentation for LURE's build scripts is available here: https://github.com/Arsen6331/lure/blob/master/docs/build-scripts.md.

LURE: AUR on non-Arch distros
Yeah, and the build scripts for LURE are extremely similar. You can see one of the ones I've been testing with here: https://github.com/Arsen6331/lure-repo/blob/master/itd-bin/lure.sh.

ArchImage: my (experimental) side-project to convert Arch Linux programs to AppImages that really work on any distro, old or young... powered by Junest
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 ).
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).

Two reasons because Arch-based AppImages are not a good idea
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:
- MicroOS arch distrobox and AUR
- all dependencies in one package
- LURE: AUR on non-Arch distros
-
Lamenting What AppImage Could Have Been
