A universal Linux package would be neat.

With things like Snappy, Flatpak, and Appimage it's possible to make a universal Linux package that will install on any distro that supports it. Definitely beats having to compile from source. Took me 2 days to get Pixelpulse to compile on Ubuntu 16.04. Too much that can go wrong.

saw this - it's implementation of travis-built app images for a similarly complicated Qt application: miek/inspectrum#143

@itdaniher with linuxdeployqt it's pretty easy to create AppImages for Qt and non-Qt apps. Just take a look at the README. I just combined the template there (with the CMake adaptions listed in a subsection) and the existing Travis config.

The package built there should run on the majority of all Linux distros >= Ubuntu 14.04.
