Package Distribution

[rami3l]

Yes, I know now this is a rather small and immature project, but I really want it to be available on more package managers!

• cargo
• homebrew
• linuxbrew
• chocolatey
• scoop
• apt
• dnf

... and maybe some more linux repos?

Here I want to express my thanks to @lynzrand for his contribution in choco distribution automation in #6 ! 🎉

I have made a scoop manifest for personal use

{
    "homepage": "https://github.com/rami3l/pacaptr",
    "license": "GPL-3.0-only",
    "version": "0.11.5",
    "architecture": {
        "64bit": {
            "url": "https://github.com/rami3l/pacaptr/releases/download/v0.11.5/pacaptr-windows-amd64.tar.gz",
            "hash": "f50d670d1b38f1cc695829f10dfa45e49e5da035b43d7a5ddc3736c1726d6b1a"
        }
    },
    "bin": "pacaptr.exe",
    "checkver": "github",
    "autoupdate": {
        "architecture": {
            "64bit": {
                "url": "https://github.com/rami3l/pacaptr/releases/download/v$version/pacaptr-windows-amd64.tar.gz"
            }
        },
        "hash": {
            "64bit": {
                "url": "$url.sha256"
            }
        }
    }
}

The only thing that probably should be done is an automatic alias to pacman. Have not figured out how to do this yet.

@meltinglava It shouldn't be too difficult for me to automatically generate such a manifest each time (we already have that for choco and brew). However it'll be quite weird for me to hold that bucket, since I don't personally use scoop...

I'll add this to my todo list nonetheless XD

[rami3l]

Things to be done to launch pacaptr on crates.io:

• Eliminate inappropriate use of build.rs.
• Improve documentation.
• Wait for a bug-less clap release compatible with the current codebase on crates.io.

pacaptr v0.13.2 is now on crates.io! 🎉

I've started some progress on distributing pacaptr through scoop. You can track it at ScoopInstaller/Extras#9521. Credits to @meltinglava for providing the template to work on.

[rami3l]

@ptanmay143 Many thanks!

BTW would you mind bumping the version to v0.17.0? :)

[ptanmay143]

I have deliberately used the second latest version to see if it will auto update the manifest with the now latest version. Hope it's alright.

[ptanmay143]

Hey! @rami3l pacaptr is now on scoop! 🎉 Auto-updates happen every 5 or so hours. Will update back later if auto-update works as expected.

UPDATE: Auto-update is working as expected. The manifest is now updated for v0.17.
