Issue bundling app from PPA

Creating AppImages
1

I want to bundle qpdfview from a PPA, including its extra packages.
But I’m getting an error message:

cp: cannot stat ‘./usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/qpdfview.svg’: No such file or directory

app: qpdfview
binpatch: true

ingredients:
  dist: xenial
  sources: 
    - deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial main universe
  ppas:
    - b-eltzner/qpdfview
  packages:
    - qpdfview
    - qpdfview-djvu-plugin
    - qpdfview-ps-plugin
    - qpdfview-translations

script:
  - cp ./usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/qpdfview.svg .

I haven’t been working with AppImages in a while. The next step would be to create an AppImage of qpdfview built from source, or using my own PPA.

Please request an AppImage of qpdfview from its author or use https://github.com/anupam-git/qpdfview-appimage/releases.

(Nevertheless: dist: xenial should be dist: trusty. And what you put in script: is your own responsiblity… it seems that there is no svg at that location?)

I want to build an AI under my conditions, for my own Github repository.
The package qpdfview_0.4.17~beta1-1~xenial1_amd64.deb contains a file ./usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/qpdfview.svg

Okay, the recipe from anupam-git uses linuxdeployqt. Based on that I made a recipe, but mine also builds some libraries from source, so they’re newer: https://gist.github.com/darealshinji/a70a48c3beb11ce2b2082a36aeef3789
