# ReForged

A set of [Electron Forge][forge] tools, makers and publishers.



## Status

Currently, this project is still very immature and some details are undecided

yet about this project. The currently planned and implemented parts of this

project are:

- [X] [`@reforged/maker-appimage`][maker1] – a simple, asynchronous [AppImage]

  maker. Basically reimplementation of `appimagetool` in TypeScript, but using

  system-wide `mksquashfs` and written natively for Forge API. Has potential for

  packaging AppImage-alternative formats as well (right now, custom runtimes

  are supported only).

  - [X] Emit / show current task and its progress [^1].

  - [ ] Support passing and generating update information to AppImages (`zsync`).

  - [ ] Support checksum embedding into AppImage runtime.

  - [ ] Support AppImage signing (`gpg`).

- [ ] `@reforged/plugin-shell` (WIP name) - adds shell script to the app

  directory to be launched instead of binary, for additional features not yet

  possible to be achieved within Electron app directly.

- [ ] `@reforged/maker-alpm` – maker for Arch Linux `pacman` packages. Ideally,

  it should directly generate a tarball with necessary metadata while supporting

  most features like package signing.
