Welcome to the Autopackage Wiki & Bug Tracking site

Autopackage is a framework for making installation packages for Linux that will work on any distribution. For more information about Autopackage, please visit the Autopackage main page at:

Reporting a bug

If you have a problem with Autopackage, please report a bug using the New Ticket page. To be able to create a new ticket, you need to login first. An account can be created by using the link to the top-right of this page. The reason we require login is to prevent spam (we used to get tons of that earlier).

You may also want to search the existing tickets to see if the problem has been reported before.

Of course, you can also talk to us if you have any further questions!
