This might be a good solution to create tar files which is easy to do and easy to install for the user. I think that creating packages is not that difficult either but I do not know for sure. With few changes being implemented, making new builds semi-annually would most likely be sufficient.
I am still trying to understand appimage and flatpak usage but as far as I can tell, it only makes it easier for the user. The developer/programmer still has to create the runtime.

You could try to create your own binary, each for your own distro, and then make it available. Is this feasible? I would need detailed instructions, because I don't know how to do it! -- Cin mailing list [email protected] https://lists.cinelerra-gg.org/mailman/listinfo/cin
AppImage will be far smaller than a flatpack. I use AppImages of Musescore, FreeCad, texstudio, balenaetcher. I have experimentally built a Cin-GG AppImage in 2019. https://www.cinelerra-gg.org/bugtracker/view.php?id=261 It more or less ran. To do it properly, it probably requires to define a new "platform" AppImage, to make sure all required libraries are taken into the build. I still have the templates I used then, if anyone who can build a binary want to try it let me know, because although the building tool will pull in any missing libraries, those are the ones of the building platform.
