Containerized packages; binary distributable for Linux

[TerkiKerel]

Hi,

Is there any possibility to create one or more packages for:

snap
nix
appimage
flatpack
a standalone for linux

Thank you

Hey,

as far as I know there already exists code to generate snap executables in this repository. Have you tried that?

I think he's asking for official packages.

@TerkiKerel What's your use-case? Are you running a distribution that has no package for Electrum?

[TerkiKerel]

I have many machines at work. I can/should not install any apps except containerized or standalone. Bacause somehow I always have dependency problems. That is the reason of containerized technologies began. I think there is no %100 specific case to use containerized apps. But If you make at least 1-2 of them that would be great. If no thank you anyway 🥇

I had seen a package on nix as I remember, but it is not official. I can not trust them. I have too much bitcoin :)

There is already a snap version of Electrum:
https://snapcraft.io/electrum
But the corrects questions are maybe:
Why an old version of Electrum, v2.6@october 2016 ?
Is it safe and official?

[SomberNight]

It is not official.
