[Linphone-developers] AppImage builds for Linux

[Alexander Koch]

Hi,

I'm the maintainer of the 'linphone-desktop-appimage' package for Arch 
Linux' User Repositories (AUR).

I'm a bit confused by the different AppImage versions that are available 
on [1], which are currently:

 - Linphone-4.1.1-826-g0c113bb.AppImage
 - Linphone-4.1.2-pre.814+6bc31c9.AppImage
 - Linphone-4.1.2-pre.818+e57cade.AppImage
 - Linphone-4.1.2-pre.818+eeaa0d3.AppImage
 - Linphone-4.2.0-alpha.10+6869569.AppImage
 - Linphone-4.2.0-alpha.11+3fb6cf9.AppImage
 - Linphone-4.2.0-alpha.13+8f45b68.AppImage
 - Linphone-4.2.0-alpha.14+0d3c37b.AppImage
 - Linphone-4.2.0-alpha.17+09ec28d.AppImage
 - Linphone-4.2.0-alpha.20+3c5a8c5.AppImage
 - Linphone-4.2.0-alpha.27+9b156c0.AppImage
 - Linphone-4.2.0-alpha.29+ce58ce0.AppImage
 - Linphone-4.2.0-alpha.32+f2b054c.AppImage
 - Linphone-4.2.0-alpha.35+345432b.AppImage


The official downloads page [2] refers to alpha.14 (while calling it 
'Beta') but there are newer versions available in that directory, the 
latest one being alpha.35 as of now. In addition to that, the latest one 
seems to be rebuilt daily so the checksum of the file always changes.

So I'm trying to figure out which version I should package.

Is alpha.14 regarded to be more stable than the others, so should I use 
that one? Or is the downloads page just not up-to-date and one should 
always use the latest one?


Best regards

Alex
