First off, thanks for taking the time to contribute!
Before reporting a problem, be it a bug, design or others, we assume you have made sure that:
- the README.md does not cover your problem
- the problem has not been reported in the issue tracker
- the problem is not related to the installed apps but to the installation scripts
- the "AM"/"AppMan" command line interface is updated to the latest version
If all apply, then please consider opening a new issue.
Use the option -t to create the installation script:
am -t my-appname
where $XDG_DESKTOP_DIR is your Desktop directory and $ARCH is your system architecture (for example x86_64 or i686), the "am-scripts" directory will contain the installation scripts in "$ARCH". Use the option -i to test the installation of the script:
am -i $XDG_DESKTOP_DIR/am-scripts/$ARCH/my-script
among the other stuff in the "am-scripts" directory created with the option -t you can see:
- the "list" file, containing the lines to add to the list of available applications (the file "$ARCH-apps" available here, NOT the one named "$ARCH"-appimages, the latter is managed by the maintainer of this repository);
- the directory bearing the name of our catalog, "portable-linux-apps.github.io", its enough to drag/drop the content of this directory for a pull request on the dedicated repo.
NOTE: if you are not sure, submit your request at https:/ivan-hc/AM/issues , we will try to provide all the above as soon as possible.
You can submit code by:
- fork this repository
- install "AM" and "AppMan" using the guide at https:/ivan-hc/AM#how-to-install-am
- submit a pull request
Enter the developer mode using the command
am --devmode-enable
to go back to the main stable branch instead
am --devmode-disable
NOTE, using the "dev" branch can cause serious risks to system stability. Use at your own risk.
