Patch that adds new feature flag "appimagekit" and disables AppImageKit as default dependency while bootstrapping for linux (1.64 KB, patch)
2016-06-26 20:14 UTC, Marcin Lewandowski 		committed Details | Review

Description Marcin Lewandowski 2016-04-17 19:38:47 UTC 
While building for Linux Cerbero adds AppImageKit to dependencies fetched during bootstrap.

Because that implies dependency on FUSE, that significantly limits usability of Cerbero within Continous Integration systems, especially if they are backed by Docker (which is becoming de-facto standard nowadays).

At the first glance, I don't see any necessity to use AppImageKit for building DEB or RPM packages.

I could fix this but I would like to ask first about rationale about using AppImageKit because maybe there's a use case that I am not aware of?

It's only needed for pitivi, as such it should probably be hidden behind a feature flag. Thibault?
Comment 2 Thibault Saunier 2016-04-22 15:42:53 UTC 
It could probably be optional indeed.
Comment 3 Tim-Philipp Müller 2016-04-23 10:28:21 UTC 
Thibault, are you going to make it optional? :)

As this is going to break pitivi without further changes, Thibault can you merge this and fix up pitivi accordingly?

I am OK to just merge that and let people activate the variant.
