Official AppImages (converted and re-hosted) and Unofficial Archimages of LibreOffice, without libfuse2 dependency and full support for AppImageUpdate tools.

The official AppImages are the result of an old script left as a legacy by Antonio Faccioli, and left there, after years, to still produce packages that depend on the old and obsolete FUSE2.

The official AppImages are also not compatible with AppImageUpdate specifications.

Their conversion solves the above problems, waiting for them to be solved upstream.

Both the official AppImages and those converted from the originals do not support MUSL. For those systems rely on the unofficial Archimages present in the "releases" section and marked as "pre-release".

This repository distributes LibreOffice in Italian (my language) for reference.

To create a package with your own language, for example, if you want an AppImage in Spanish:

1. Change the value of this line

   LibreOffice-appimage/libreoffice-languages-junest.sh

   Line 13 in c71b167

   add_italian="libreoffice-it"

   (the variable name doesn't matter, just its value) to that of a LibreOffice language package in the Arch Linux repositories, of your choice. From

add_italian="libreoffice-it"

to

add_italian="libreoffice-es"

2. Add a new line between these two

   LibreOffice-appimage/libreoffice-languages-junest.sh

   Lines 20 to 21 in c71b167

   	elif [ "$LOLP" = italian ]; then
   	DEPENDENCES="$add_italian"

   LOLP=your-language to change the default value of $LOLP. (currently italian) and add your reference value in the AppImage name and delta update info. From

elif [ "$LOLP" = italian ]; then
	DEPENDENCES="$add_italian"

to

elif [ "$LOLP" = italian ]; then
	LOLP="spanish"
	DEPENDENCES="$add_italian"

3. At this point, you can optionally disable all subsequent releases. Remove

   LibreOffice-appimage/.github/workflows/fresh-CI.yml

   Lines 43 to 56 in c71b167

   	# Create "LibreOffice european"
   	export LOLP="european"
   	./libreoffice-languages-junest.sh
   	mv *AppImage* dist/ || exit 1
   	# Create "LibreOffice standard"
   	export LOLP="standard"
   	./libreoffice-languages-junest.sh
   	mv *AppImage* dist/ || exit 1
   	# Create "LibreOffice all"
   	export LOLP="all"
   	./libreoffice-languages-junest.sh
   	mv *AppImage* dist/ || exit 1

   and

   LibreOffice-appimage/.github/workflows/still-CI.yml

   Lines 43 to 56 in c71b167

   	# Create "LibreOffice european"
   	export LOLP="european"
   	./libreoffice-languages-junest.sh
   	mv *AppImage* dist/ || exit 1
   	# Create "LibreOffice standard"
   	export LOLP="standard"
   	./libreoffice-languages-junest.sh
   	mv *AppImage* dist/ || exit 1
   	# Create "LibreOffice all"
   	export LOLP="all"
   	./libreoffice-languages-junest.sh
   	mv *AppImage* dist/ || exit 1

   from your workflows.
4. Make sure your fork has permissions to create releases, then start the workflow you prefer, and disable the ones you don't.

Use the -e or extra option to install your AppImage, allowing updates and all the benefits AM/AppMan can offer.

In the previous example, we used Spanish as the reference language. So, here's how to install your own fork of LibreOffice Archimage via "AM", system wide...

am -e https://github.com/YOUR-USER/LibreOffice-appimage libreoffice spanish

...or locally

am -e --user https://github.com/YOUR-USER/LibreOffice-appimage libreoffice spanish

...or via AppMan

appman -e https://github.com/YOUR-USER/LibreOffice-appimage libreoffice spanish

"AM"/"AppMan" is a set of scripts and modules for installing, updating, and managing AppImage packages and other portable formats, in the same way that APT manages DEBs packages, DNF the RPMs, and so on... using a large database of Shell scripts inspired by the Arch User Repository, each dedicated to an app or set of applications.

The engine of "AM"/"AppMan" is the "APP-MANAGER" script which, depending on how you install or rename it, allows you to install apps system-wide (for a single system administrator) or locally (for each user).

"AM"/"AppMan" aims to be the default package manager for all AppImage packages, giving them a home to stay.

You can consult the entire list of managed apps at portable-linux-apps.github.io/apps.
