Is it planned to make the AppImage update method work?
Hello,
i noticed that the provided AppImage (still,standard) contains the following update information.
Parsing file: LibreOffice-still.standard-x86_64.AppImage
AppImage type: 2
Raw update information: zsync|http://libreoffice.soluzioniopen.com/LibreOffice-still.standard.AppImage.zsync
Update information type: Generic ZSync URL
Assembled ZSync URL: http://libreoffice.soluzioniopen.com/LibreOffice-still.standard.AppImage.zsync
so i tried the AppImage update mechanisem via. appimageupdatetool (src. https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageU...)
Sadly i got the following error output.
Checking for updates... zsync2: zsync2:
Reading and/or parsing .zsync file failed!
Update check failed, exiting!
The Assembled ZSync URL does not seem to be present.
Normally i would have expected fo get the following output
Checking for updates...
... done!
Update not required, exiting.
So is it planned to make the AppImage update method work?
[Updaet]
I found hat zsync artefacts seem to be availabe at least for the daily builds.
https://libreoffice.soluzioniopen.com...
But even those Appimages do not contain valid zsync urls The note at the bottom of the page holds the correct url which is for example:
https://libreoffice.soluzioniopen.com...
But the corresponding AppImage zsync url points to https://libreoffice.soluzioniopen.com...
This seems to be an general error with the AppImage Build / Construction

Thank you!
[UPDATE1 ] I tried to get in contact with who i assume is the maintainer antonio.faccioli@libreoffice.it/ ( src: https://libreoffice.soluzioniopen.com/ ) But the email i send could not be delivered by the mail server. I am unsure what todo next.
[UPDATE 2] It seems he also has an account here: https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/users/... Is there a way to tag somebody or send them an Private Message? I have not found any documentation on how to do this yet.
A way to send notification to a user is to prefix his alias with an
@
sign, e.g. to send me a notification you type@ajlittoz
in a comment. A common form is:So, try to add a comment with your question to signor Faccioli. Caution! User name are case sensitive. Use the exact same spelling as shown in the user page (including spaces).
Thank you very much. I am still a bit new to askbot sites. I will do as you suggested.
Here goes.

Hello Mr. Faccioli
would you be so kind to give some feedback regarding this question? A simple yes or no would suffice, but if it's a yes, knowing a rough timeframe if one exists would be even better.
Hope i am not asking to much or at an inconvenient time. Anyway, thank you in advance.
edited by ajlittoz: changed user name to the spelling in his account
@igorlius: if name doesn't turn blue, you misspelled the name
UPDATE: there seems to be an "Antonio" user. I don't know if my tweaks succeed in reaching the right Antonio Faccio
@igorlius: congratulation, you've got it!
For the record: full URL with scheme and host name, standard space replaced by
in the "comment" part of the<a>
link.I just hope i did not create a notification storm by all that editing and playing around. If so, i am terribly sorry.
Apparently, Antonio has not come back since Sept 2019. I don't think he'll ever get the notification(s).
As for "notification storm", notifications are merged question per question. So, signor Faccioli will get a single ring up but, yes, his log will show our attempts but I think these are less numerous than for Antonio.
