## cargo-packager fetches its AppImage tools with a single un-retried GET, and a
## truncated response fails the whole release, which bites us in the ass all the time...
## It skips any tool already in its cache, so we fetch them here with curl + retries.
## Note the plugin's local name has no arch suffix even though its URL does.

## AppImages aren't tied to a distro, so we build one per arch on 22.04,
## our oldest glibc, which gets them running on the widest range of systems.
