- the_why_of_y 10y agoThere were numerous previous attempts to do something like this, including Klik, its successor Klik2, AutoPackage, 0install, Glick, and its successor Glick2 (the latter two by the lead developer of FlatPak). http://klik.atekon.de/wiki/index.php/Klik2 http://klik.atekon.de/wiki/index.php/Klik2 http://autopackage.org/ http://autopackage.org/ http://0install.net/ http://0install.net/ https://people.gnome.org/~alexl/glick/ https://people.gnome.org/~alexl/glick/ https://people.gnome.org/~alexl/glick2/ https://people.gnome.org/~alexl/glick2/ However these all remained pretty obscure. AFAIK all of them only tried to solve the problem of how to install stuff on the end user's system, but ignored the problem of how developers can build binaries that actually run on multiple version of multiple distributions, which XdgApp/FlatPak solves with its "runtimes" and corresponding SDKs.
