<p>Hello Luis,</p>
<p>Yes, that would be great.</p>
<p>Besides the easy installation you mention, this would offer some
great potential for ease of testing, deployment and automated
tasks. <br>
</p>
<p>You can have a look at some experiments I once started here,
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/3784">https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/3784</a>, feel free to take that and
improve on it. If you need any further help or input in working on
these packages, please let us know, the community here is very
helpful!</p>
<p>Best regards</p>

<p>PS: writing the subject in all caps is perceived as rude on many
mailing lists, better stick to normal capitalization of writing<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hello, I have used this software and it has been
very useful to me, I am a surveyor engineer and free software
user. A year ago in the world linux have agreed to generate
universal packages self-contained with everything they need to
install on any linux distribution. Of which there are today 3;
Simon Peter's appimage, Gnome flatpak and Canonical snaps. The
advantage of these packages is that they use everything in the
same package to work, libraries and so on. Hence they can be
installed in any linux distribution.<br>
It would be great to see the Quantum GIS in appimage or in
flatpak or snap, and avoid using the terminal for new users. I
somehow defend myself with the terminal but sometimes it is
still somewhat annoying and tedious. I leave you the links of
these new packaging technologies, so that you can analyze them
and may in the not too distant future offer some of these simple
packages. In fact I prefer appimage, I downloaded several of
these applications with this type of package and is simple to
use and distribute. Flatpak and snap are still using the
terminal to install them, the snaps are fairly simple (it will
be installed in the gnome and kde software center in 2018),
flatpak the gnome desktop and kde install it from the software
center to install packages Flatpak.<br>
Appimage has its own charm and does not use the terminal but
right click on the icon, properties and run as application and
go.<br>
Thank you<br>
