What's the intention behind this "issue"?

[probonopd]

A "note to self" which projects to send PRs ;-)

Vaguely along the lines of

#! /bin/bash

export APPDIR="retext.AppDir"

export PIP_REQUIREMENTS="-e git+https://github.com/retext-project/retext#egg=retext PyQt5"

wget -c https://github.com/linuxdeploy/linuxdeploy/releases/download/continuous/linuxdeploy-x86_64.AppImage
wget -c "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/TheAssassin/linuxdeploy-plugin-conda/master/linuxdeploy-plugin-conda.sh"

chmod +x linuxdeploy-x86_64.AppImage linuxdeploy-plugin-conda.sh

rm -r "$APPDIR" || true

(kept here so that it won't be forgotten - credits to @TheAssassin, this is pure magic)

Note for <rest of world>: the SSL part in the AppRun script isn't strictly necessary, fixed some issues with Pext's plugin system IIRC. See https://github.com/Pext/Pext/blob/e0cf8cfd68827a678317a75226aacb8e23fe1a16/travis/build-appimage.sh#L29 for more information.
