If possible, please release this software for Ubuntu, it would be very useful for me as a developer.

:tada: .rpm and .deb packages were built successfully.
https://travis-ci.org/ZetaoYang/flameshot/builds/327070284
support :
- OS=fedora DIST=25
- OS=fedora DIST=26
- OS=ubuntu DIST=xenial //16.04 LTS
- OS=ubuntu DIST=yakkety //16.10
- OS=ubuntu DIST=zesty //17.04
- OS=debian DIST=jessie //8
- OS=debian DIST=stretch //9

P.S. Not support Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, because the Qt version of the default official source is 5.2.1, flameshot does not support. But this does not mean that you can not run flameshot on Ubuntu 14.04.

Actually you can try the AppImage generated in the latest build. You can download here: https://transfer.sh/10wJZK/Configure_Flameshot-4a2aecd-x86_64.AppImage
After download it, you must give run permission with this command chmod +x ./Configure_Flameshot-4a2aecd-x86_64.AppImage

The build details are here: https://travis-ci.org/lupoDharkael/flameshot/jobs/324320559

To launch you can execute:

./Configure_Flameshot-4a2aecd-x86_64.AppImage to launch and see as a tray icon
./Configure_Flameshot-4a2aecd-x86_64.AppImage gui to start the "shot" now

I know that isn't the best solution but It's a patch while the .deb or snap is created

Snap is the recommended for multiple distros, not only Ubuntu.
You can get some help from here: http://snapcraft.io/

Related but not the same: it would be wonderful if there would be an PPA to ensure current versions. Or should I (or someone) rather create a new issue for this?

@ZetaoYang Will the Stretch deb file work for Buster (Debian testing)?

4goodapp on 10 Jan 2018

@ZetaoYang Can you link the deb file please.

4goodapp on 10 Jan 2018

@4goodapp I have not done the test for debian buster. All the compilation and packaging, are done in the docker environment.

Yes, I will release. But I need to improve this process, then I will provide a link to the deb and rpm file for testing.

To developers, I thank you for your great effort.

I have built Deb packages for Ubuntu Xenial and Artful. It was quite an easy job, because 'debian' code was already included in the source.
Anyone who would like to use Flameshot but have difficulties in compiling, can use my PPA at their own risk. Or just download Deb file there.

To whom it might concern, I intend to maintain flameshot officially inside Debian. Take a look at https://salsa.debian.org/Debian/flameshot .

Pushing it down in Debian will cause it migrate to all other deb-based linux distributions later. My wish is to get it into Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, but no guarantee will be made yet.
