Suggestion - Adding FET 6.x Linux AppImage for download

[uni_instructor]

Thank you for your efforts!

I downloaded all three versions of FET6.22 an tested them:

fet-6.2.2-gnu-linux-executable-v2-qt5.tar.bz2
fet-6.2.2-gnu-linux-executable-v2-qt6.tar.bz2
fet-6.2.2-x86_64.AppImage

I got all versions running!

AppImage reported following errors after starting from command-line:
(A change of language settings is accepted.)

fet-6.2.2_qt5 - no error messages while starting from command-line. A change of language settings is accepted.

I will keep an eye on the AppImage and report unusual behavior.

Regards UI

Thank you for your reports!

I added a new fet-6.2.2-gnu-linux-executable-v2-qt6.tar.bz2, could you please reget it? I did not change the name of the archive (even if the archive is changed), I hope only you downloaded it. I will also update the Download section to write that there are available for Qt 5 and Qt 6.

[Liviu Lalescu]

I hope I stabilized for now with a last upload of a new version of v2-qt6, ~30 minutes ago. Please let me know (no rush this time).

[uni_instructor]

I downloaded all three new Linux versions and tested them.

All of them worked without any problems.

[Liviu Lalescu]

Thank you for the report! The command-line errors relating to XCB I think should be ignored.

Thank you for the suggestion to add these versions! I hope the users will benefit.

[Liviu Lalescu]

Hello, UI,

I managed (with some hacks) to obtain an AppImage which checks for updates on startup (when updating to FET-6.2.3). Maybe you could test the new versions.

[uni_instructor]

Dear Liviu,

I tested your current AppImage. It worked fine.  :-)  :-)

Regards

UI

[Liviu Lalescu]

Thank you for your report, UI! 

[littlejhonnesme]

I would like to contribute by always keeping an up-to-date installer for archlinux versions. How can I do this?

[Liviu Lalescu]

Thank you for your kind intention!

I think for now:

Make a subscription to the "FET News and Announcements" board -- https://lalescu.ro/liviu/fet/forum/index.php?board=17.0 -- it is there where I announce each new version.

Then, I could add your page in the Tools/Links section of FET for now ( https://lalescu.ro/liviu/fet/toolslinks.html ).

Is that OK, or we need some more? Could you show me your page?
