@phoerious maybe we should look into supporting AppImageUpdate?

[TheAssassin]

@corppneq see my words in the Wire ticket. Please get an up to date version of AppImageUpdate from GitHub.

[droidmonkey]

Closing due to not being a KeePassXC issue.

[corppneq]

When I use the different AppImageUpdate binary I get:

./AppImageUpdate-c31f1dd-x86_64.AppImage KeePassXC-2.2.2-2-x86_64.AppImage 
AppImageUpdate version 1-alpha (commit c31f1dd), build 151 built on 2017-11-15 23:02:18 UTC
Checking for updates...
Could not find update information in the AppImage. Please contact the author of the AppImage and ask him to embed update information.

@droidmonkey How is this not a KeepassXC issue? There is not update information in the AppImage. Independent from which update binary one uses.

[TheAssassin]

@droidmonkey depends. What he meant to ask for is, would you consider supporting AppImageUpdate?

AppImageUpdate is a really easy tool allowing users to efficiently update applications. Implementing it is really easy, just add -u "updateinformation". And, as mentioned in the Wire ticket, there's even a GitHub releases type which takes away a lot of work.

[TheZ3ro]

I think we should consider this. @phoerious can you look into it?

[TheAssassin]

If you need help, feel free to join us on IRC #AppImage on Freenode.

[droidmonkey]

My trigger finger was itchy... Sorry bout that

[probonopd]

fwiw, linuxdeployqt does this automatically when it detects that it is running on Travis CI.

[phoerious]

I added a PR to add this functionality. See #1228.
I also uploaded zsync files for the current 2.2.2 release, but I couldn't test the AppImageUpdate tool, because it crashes on me when I try to use it with a KeePassXC AppImage that has embedded update information.

[TheAssassin]

@phoerious please tell me where you got that tool from, and how it crashes for you. I'll look into it then.

[phoerious]

I downloaded the latest release from GitHub. I can start it and select my AppImage, but then it segfaults if that AppImage contains update information.

[TheAssassin]

I hope as a developer you understand that a stacktrace would be really helpful. Also, please post the exact filename (just for completion).

[phoerious]

And I hope that you understand that a stacktrace without debug symbols is usually rather useless. 😉
But here you go:

Filename was KeePassXC-2.2.3-x86_64.AppImage.

[TheAssassin]

There is debug information inside the zsync2 and AppImageUpdate binaries in the AppImages we publish.

Actually, your stacktrace helps a lot. There is a segfault in the custom libcurl I have to build to ensure SSL CA support on different distros. I suspect that your distribution doesn't have some CA chain at a supported search path. Could you export CURLOPT_VERBOSE=1 and re-run? There should be some output. Please post a full log. Furthermore, please post your distribution name and release.

[phoerious]

Yeah, well, I just didn't dig any deeper, but if that helps you already, great.

A CA bundle seems to be found, though:

AppImageUpdate version 1-alpha (commit 3c26cf5), build 170 built on 2017-11-25 09:15:40 UTC

Using Arch Linux.

[TheAssassin]

I'll have to test AppImageUpdate on Arch Linux then. By the way, command not found is coming from https://github.com/TheAssassin/libdesktopenvironments failing to find a KDE configuration program to detect the native font name. Could you please add information on your desktop environment?

[phoerious]

Umm. KDE Plasma 5.11. Perhaps I'm missing a specific package?
