    9. `.zsync` file not uploaded to releases, causing AppImageUpdate to failOpen

      I just noticed that Popsicle's AppImage cannot be upgraded with AppImageUpdate (or tools based on it, e.g., AppImageLauncher's update tool) as the corresponding .zsync file is not uploaded by the GitHub actions workflow.

      Popsicle's CLI interface no longer displays the progress bar, or completes and closes after flashing a USB. Instead, it just hangs with no output until the user cancels it with Ctrl+C. Given enough time, flashing does complete and the USB is in the expected state, but Popsicle…

    Popsicle on CachyOS: questions

    Is Popsicle in the official CachyOS repo?

    Yes. The popsicle package is in the cachyos repo, version 1.3.3-2, built 2025-07-07. Install it with sudo pacman -S popsicle.

    Do I need an AUR helper for Popsicle?

    No. It comes from the cachyos repo, so plain pacman installs and updates it, and sudo pacman -Syu keeps it current.

    What is the Popsicle command?

    The package installs popsicle and popsicle-gtk.
