Installation of AppImage failed

[Pierre-Henry Muller]

Hi,
I use lastversion for install some apps, who not provide packages.
On a Fedora 37, I have lastversion installed with pip, with Python version 3.11.3.

lastversion --version
lastversion 2.4.15, up to date

When I launch with root the command lastversion -y install jgraph/drawio-desktop
It begin to download the appimage of the software but when the download is finished, I have this error :

I have checked if the github prefix is in cause with :

lastversion -y install drawio-desktop

If I test to install Mattermost in the same way, I get :

Why they would going to /root/Applications? It's not in this place AppImage need to be installed.

@pierrehenrymuller where do you expect it to be installed if not under <user home>/Applications ?

[Pierre-Henry Muller]

I've understood what's changed, I was surprised that I was using AppImages, I prefer packages.
These two applications have made AppImages available that they didn't have before. So lastversion took the AppImages instead of the rpm.

On https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop/releases/tag/v21.2.8 or https://github.com/mattermost/desktop/releases/tag/v5.3.1

lastversion use AppImage instead of RPM.

Which option is need to specify which installation method we need between rpm and AppImage?

And for the /home//Application for AppImage, I suggest that lastversion create the directory if not exist.

[Pierre-Henry Muller]

It's seem --filter 'rpm' works to specify which package we want.
Thanks

lastversion --having-asset "~\.rpm" --filter rpm --assets https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop should be more reliable way to achieve this. (as in to say "give me only releases which have RPM files and give me RPM files in the latest release). Without --having-asset it might fail if the RPM asset have not been published for the latest release.

[Pierre-Henry Muller]

Hi,
I have test with this command but it download a wrong file for another architecture:

lastversion --having-asset "~\.rpm" --filter rpm --assets -y install https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop
OR
lastversion --having-asset "~.+x86_64-.+\.rpm" --filter rpm --assets -y install https://github.com/jgraph/drawio-desktop

This result of the system cannot install rpm for aarch64 version.

It's a bug or I miss something in the filter or instruction?
