Description

AppImage package please

I have it currently with a .deb package from the distro but it's annoying to keep updating it with managing --no-install-recommends since I do not want adb installed (I use Android Studio installed by other means and already have ADB in my $PATH)

I prefer to have an AppImage I can then use and not worry about dependencies, and yes I know I can disable install-recommends by default APT behaviour (which I do not want currently) but, also the .deb package in distro repositories lags behind and you do not publish a .deb on your github or a repository source

So can we have an AppImage package please? (without android tools please)

I just don't want the .deb that keeps trying to install adb and android tools every damn update by default that I already have

I really don't like packages that keep using the recommends system for stuff I have installed by other more official developer upstream methods

If I cannot get an AppImage, I have no other choice but to remove this tool, pity, depenencies runs it for me (and no I don't want flatpak or snap as that's another bunch of problems and itches to scratch)

Perhaps put the android tools as an apt "Suggests" rather than "Recommends" would alleviate some of this problem as I think "suggests" are not installed by default (unless apt configuration changed) but "Recommends" are installed by default (unless apt configuration changed). It still won't solve the problem of "distro lag" in versioning though
