Question: what exactly is this "testappimage" which should be improved`

[probonopd]

testappimage is a bash script that mounts Linux Live ISOs into a running system and lets you test AppImages against them. Kind of a "poor man's Docker" but for me much quicker and much more efficient.

Thanks for the quick info. (I had grepped and find-ed through the source tree, but it somehow didn't show up...)

[probonopd]

It is carefully hidden in the root directory ;-)

@probonopd which kind of improvements are required?

[probonopd]

What is stated in the original post :), plus documentation

[probonopd]

We need to make testappimage aware of type 2 images by checking whether it is a type 2 image and then using --appimage-mount rather than mount -o loop.
