⚠️ Manual check needed: the name of the file has more than two hyphens

• TeXada-the-Math-Agent

The name of the file in data/ should be the name of the application (see the README), without version, architecture or file extension; blanks become _. Many hyphens often mean that it is a file name such as App-1.0-x86_64 instead.

• Contributor: please check the name, or say in this PR why it is right (some applications really have hyphens in their name).
• Maintainers: please check the name before merging.

❌ Test failure

@CacinieP: this pull request adds the AppImage from your GitHub repository to the AppImage catalog; the test reports the following. Could you have a look?

Tested:

• TeXada_0.4.4_amd64.AppImage from release v0.4.4

Compatibility: not self-contained: uses the C library of the system; references glibc 2.39

• The AppImage needs a newer C library (glibc, or the C++ library libstdc++) than the test system has; the error names the version that is missing (e.g. GLIBC_2.38). The test runs on the oldest Ubuntu LTS release that is still in standard support (see https://ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle), because an AppImage is meant to run on any current Linux distribution, including older ones, and glibc can only be as old as the system the AppImage was built on: a program built on a newer system links against symbols that older systems do not have. The fix is to build on the oldest still-supported LTS release (in GitHub Actions, the oldest ubuntu-* runner still offered, or a container of that release), not on the newest system. If the program itself needs a newer compiler, build in a container of the old release with a newer toolchain (e.g. the toolchain PPAs), statically link what needs it, or bundle the C library together with its dynamic loader (ld-linux) in the AppImage: then the host's glibc does not matter at all (the test reports X-AppImage-Libc=bundled). See https://docs.appimage.org/reference/best-practices.html#binaries-compiled-on-old-enough-base-system
• The application quit or crashed right after starting; the error below usually shows why. Note that the test runs the application without network access, on purpose, and that this is a requirement for the catalog: an AppImage must start without network (users are offline too). If the application needs a server, a login or an update check to start, please make it show its window (or at least a message) first and connect afterwards, and handle a failed connection instead of exiting.

What next: once the AppImage is fixed (e.g. in a new release), comment /retest here to test it again. If it should not be in the catalog after all, close this pull request; an app that is already in the catalog can be removed by a maintainer with /remove.

[CacinieP]

Thanks for discovering TeXada and for the compatibility report!

The v0.4.4 Linux package was built on Ubuntu 24.04, which explains the newer glibc requirements. I have opened a fix in CacinieP/TeXada-the-Math-Agent#74 to:

• build the Linux desktop and Python backend on Ubuntu 22.04 (glibc 2.35);
• build the pinned llama-server from source on the same baseline instead of using an upstream Ubuntu binary;
• check packaged ELF glibc imports and exercise both the deb and AppImage with external networking disabled, while retaining loopback for the local backend.

The regular audit checks have passed; the new Linux package build/startup validation is still running. A corrected AppImage has not been released yet, so I am not requesting a retest at this stage. Once a validated replacement is published, I will follow up here and request a retest.

Regarding the filename warning: TeXada-the-Math-Agent is the repository/project name, and its hyphens do not represent a version or architecture. The desktop application's display name is TeXada, so data/TeXada would be appropriate if the catalog entry should follow the application name rather than the repository name.
