      Hello, I really like some apps in the open store and I wonder if it is theorically possible to convert a click package into an Appimage or a Flatpak, or even a deb file in order to use it externally ?
      Thank you veru much !

        @prog-amateur yes it is possible, this is just a package format. But will the app and all its dependencies work in your target system ?

          @lduboeuf
          Good question ! For instance, I would like to port Weather (its rainviewer feature is incredible) in my arm64 debian device because I love it compared to gnome weather.
          I would be happy to hear about a conversion tool or an easy tutorial to build it

            @prog-amateur In theory you have to include all dependecies (uuitk, components, gps, etc).

            One app I know has snap package is (was?) FluffyChat:

              @cibersheep Thanks for opening this discussion here.

              Actually weather app has got a snapcraft.yaml file too. I think it actually was published as snap once.

              I can have a look (or ask around) if we get this working. If we can publish weather app to the snapstore that would be cool. Or if anyone has got an idea what needs doing, please shout it out.

              Edit: Here a link to snapcraft documentation to get us started.

                And I just saw, that Axolotl is published as flatpack and appimage. So this might help us too.

                  Although, thinking about it, I am not sure if our API key can handle the additional load of data calls. We might need to implement an option for users of snap/appimages to use their own API codes.

                  This should be solvable, but should be considered.
