Aeryth – Easily convert AppImages into native packages with AUR

Hi everyone,

I’d like to share a small tool I’ve developed recently called Aeryth usefull for AUR builders.

It’s a Bash script that helps convert any AppImage into a native package for your Linux system:

.deb for Debian/Ubuntu-based distributions

.pkg.tar for Arch Linux

The goal is to make it easier to integrate AppImage-based applications into your system — so they can be installed, tracked, and removed just like regular packages.

Aeryth automates the process: it extracts the AppImage, prepares the required metadata, builds the package, and outputs a clean installable file. It's lightweight, has minimal dependencies, and can also be used in custom scripts or CI pipelines.

?️ The project is hosted here:
➡️ https://gitlab.com/pepinature/aeryth

? And if you're on Arch Linux, it's also available directly from the AUR:
➡️ https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/aeryth

Thanks for reading.
