AppImage official package

by efa » Post

I saw on web site, the official last version for Linux is supplied as Flatpack.
This is enormous package, how is big?

Please add an official AppImage package.
I saw there are unofficials updated package available like this good:
https://appimage.github.io/Minetest/
but official package is better

The flatpak is so big because, by it's nature, it has copies of everything that it needs to run bundled in. (dependencies)

I may be off base, but I believe the reason there isn't an official appimage is because there isn't anyone who's stepped up to maintain such a thing.
