Prefer latest version over best CPU match. An amd64v4 machine gets
v2.0.0 (baseline only) instead of v1.0.0 (which had a v4 build)
because recency beats specificity.
- buildmeta: add amd64v2/v3/v4 micro-levels, ArchFallbacks, LibcFallbacks
- classify: detect micro-arch levels, treat Windows "arm" as ARM64
- platlatest: add Resolve() that walks fallback chains picking newest
classify extracts OS, arch, libc, and format from release asset
filenames using regex pattern matching with priority ordering
(x86_64 before x86, arm64 before armv7, etc.).
platlatest tracks the newest release version per build target
(OS+arch+libc triplet) to handle the common case where Windows
or macOS releases lag behind Linux by several versions.
Stores one JSON file per release, named by tag. Supports:
- Incremental updates: atomic writes to the active slot
- Full refresh: write to standby slot, atomic symlink swap
- O(1) existence check and latest-tag lookup
For packages installed from auto-generated source tarballs rather
than uploaded binary assets (shell scripts, vim plugins, etc.).
Each delegates to its respective forge fetcher — the distinction
is organizational, signaling which fields the consumer should use.
Gitea's API is similar to GitHub's but not identical (different URL
prefix, limit vs per_page, token auth header). Give it its own types
and pagination logic rather than coupling through githubish.
GitLab's API differs from GitHub: different URL pattern
(/api/v4/projects/:id/releases), nested asset structure
(sources + links), page/per_page pagination with X-Total-Pages
header, and PRIVATE-TOKEN auth.
Some packages (shell scripts, vim plugins) use the auto-generated
source archives rather than uploaded binary assets. These URLs are
already in the API response — just needed to be deserialized.
gitea: thin wrapper over githubish that appends /api/v1 to the base URL.
gittag: clones/fetches a bare repo, lists version-like tags with
commit metadata, includes HEAD. For packages installed by cloning
(vim plugins, shell scripts) rather than downloading binaries.
githubish: generic fetcher for any GitHub-compatible API (GitHub,
Gitea, Forgejo). Paginates via Link headers, supports Bearer auth.
Returns raw API data with no transformation.
github: thin wrapper that sets the base URL to api.github.com.
nodedist: generic fetcher for any Node.js-style dist index.json API.
Returns raw API entries with no transformation or normalization.
Uses iter.Seq2 for a paginated interface consistent across sources.
node: calls nodedist twice — official builds and unofficial builds
(musl, loong64, etc.) — yielding one batch per source.
The user agent identifies itself through multiple signals — the
User-Agent header and query parameters (?os, ?arch). FromRequest
unifies both, with explicit query params taking precedence.
buildmeta: remove premature Release/PackageMeta structs and
ChannelNames slice — keep only the shared vocabulary types.
uadetect: replace regex-based matching with token-based matching.
Split UA on whitespace/slash/semicolon, match lowercase tokens.
Strip xnu kernel info for Rosetta. Single Parse() entry point.
httpclient: return plain *http.Client from New(). Make Do() and Get()
free functions. Only retry idempotent methods (GET/HEAD).
Original preserves the upstream tag as the releaser published it (e.g.
"REL_17_0"), while Raw holds Webi's normalized form ("17.0").
ExtraSort is an opaque string for package-specific ordering where Nums
alone can't capture sort order (e.g. flutter "2.3.0-16.0.pre"). Set by
release-fetcher code using zero-padded strings or whatever works for
that package.
Versions aren't always semver — chromedriver uses 4 parts, gpg uses 4
parts, atomicparsley uses dates. Replaced fixed Major/Minor/Patch/Build
fields with a Nums slice. Date is now time.Time for minute-level
precision.
Also adds ODDITIES.md cataloging non-standard version formats across
Webi packages for future reference.
Build is often a hash with no ordering meaning. When release dates are
known, they're a better tiebreaker for versions with the same
major.minor.patch. Date is only used when both sides have one.
Instead of encoding versions as padded strings (a JS-ism), parse into a
Version struct and compare fields directly. Pre-releases sort before
their corresponding stable release via channel comparison.
Each package doc now explains what problem it solves and why it exists,
with the public interface as the only "how" detail. Implementation
notes removed from doc comments.
webid still discovers new packages from storage without restart.
webicached knows its package set at startup and periodically refreshes
releases to both Postgres and filesystem.
Captures the full migration plan: architecture, API surface inventory,
storage double-buffer design, incremental migration phases, and key
design decisions. Not a straight port — redesigning internals while
preserving the public API contract.
Adds releases.js, install.sh, install.ps1, and README.md for monorel,
a Go monorepo release tool from therootcompany/golib. Filters monorepo
releases by tools/monorel/ prefix and auto-installs prerequisites
(git, gh, goreleaser).
