Nah, they just don't consider extracting the stuff without running it |
| 14 |
important. Nor apparently do they consider it important to support |
| 15 |
the 0.1% of Linux users on a distro that doesn't support appimage |
| 16 |
(just a rough estimate based by all the logos on their webpage - I |
| 17 |
can't vouch for how well it works on the distros they list). |

The concept behind it isn't terrible, but if you want to use it your |
| 20 |
first step is to get it packaged/working on Gentoo. I don't see any |
| 21 |
reason that this couldn't be done - it just probably doesn't scratch |
| 22 |
many Gentoo user's itches. |
