linux support
See original GitHub issueHow should Linux support work?
One way would be to have some sort of build system that always carefully only links against libc 5, does everything statically, etc, and builds everything into a big binary.
Another would be to instead have multiple backends for .rpm
, .deb
, etc. I imagine that this would be different from bdist_rpm
, bdist_deb
et. al. by doing some automatic determination of what the package dependencies ought to be by looking for shared library dependencies. Despite the fact that this would not be nearly as self-contained, it might be more practically useful to begin with.

@loganasherjones AFAICT, we should be able to support both (along with raw RPM/DEB packaging as well, for that matter). From my perspective, it’s just a matter of having someone with expertise in one of those packaging toolchains building out the application template and describing the compilation/packaging process.
Given how different deb, rpm and other Linux distros (eg Arch) are, does it make sense to have separate commands for the different targets? I was thinking
linux-deb
linux-rpm
andlinux-arch
. I run Arch, so I’m interested in trying to get briefcase to generate an Arch PKGBUILD or.tar.xz
package.
