enki c9f73c26fa Packaging: build targets + Linux update-ping (v1.0.0)
- electron-builder: linux targets = deb, flatpak, tar.gz, pacman; win = nsis.
- updater.ts: Linux is notify-only (deb/pacman are package-manager owned,
  flatpak is sandboxed) — reads the same Codeberg feed as Windows and shows a
  "Blap X is available" desktop notification linking to HOW-TO-UPDATE.md.
  Windows/macOS keep electron-updater in-place install.
- HOW-TO-UPDATE.md: per-format update instructions.

Version stays 1.0.0.

Updating Blap

All builds are published on the Blap releases page. Grab the newest file for your platform below.

Windows

Automatic — when a new version is out, Blap shows a "New update" prompt; click it and Blap updates itself. (Or download the latest Blap Setup X.Y.Z.exe and run it.)

Linux

Blap can't update itself on Linux (packages are owned by your package manager / the flatpak sandbox), so it just notifies you — then you update with one command for your format:

Flatpak (Bazzite, etc.)

Download the new Blap-X.Y.Z-x86_64.flatpak and:

flatpak install --user Blap-X.Y.Z-x86_64.flatpak

(installing the newer bundle upgrades the existing install)

Debian / Ubuntu (.deb)

sudo apt install ./blap_X.Y.Z_amd64.deb

Arch (.pacman)

sudo pacman -U blap-X.Y.Z.pacman

Portable (.tar.gz)

Extract the new tarball over your existing copy and run the blap executable — no install needed.


Replace X.Y.Z with the version from the releases page.
