Serves /api/releases/{pkg}@{version}.json and .tab matching the
Node.js format. Supports query params for os, arch, libc, channel,
formats, lts, limit. Handles selfhosted packages (install.sh only).
Pre-loads all cached packages on startup. Includes /api/debug for
UA detection and /api/health endpoint.
Packages with alias_of in releases.conf (e.g. dashd → dashcore,
golang → go) now get symlinked cache files so they resolve to the
same JSON as their target. 13 aliases total.
Added AliasOf as a proper field in installerconf.Conf, LinkAlias
method to fsstore, and alias handling in webicached's Run loop.
- ffmpeg: add version_prefix = b to strip 'b' from tags (b6.0 → 6.0)
- legacy.go: add .gz to legacyFormats for bare gzipped binaries
- iterm2: broaden regex to handle preview/beta variants, skip empty
versions
Match count: 75/106
- Add .app.zip to legacyFormats so macOS fish builds export correctly
- Exclude bundledpcre, fish-static, OpenBeta from fish/releases.conf
- Add fish Linux binaries to comparecache noise (Go improvement)
Match count: 72/106
- Hugo: exclude Linux-64bit legacy filename alias
- Hugo-extended: exclude Linux-64bit legacy filename alias
- Gitea: exclude -src- and -docs- tarballs
- Pathman: exclude armv8 legacy alias
- UUID v7: exclude exotic architectures (thumb, armeb, loong, gnux32, risc)
- comparecache: filter bare executables and docs tarballs as noise,
apply noise filter to both live and Go sides
- legacy.go: add .tar.bz2 to legacyFormats
Match count: 69/106 (up from 58)
- gittag classifier: use "{repo}-{tag}" filenames (matching Node.js),
strip "v" prefix from version, synthesize date-based version for
tagless repos (HEAD of master/main)
- GitHub source-only: use "git" format (no dot) and "{repo}-{tag}"
filename for clone assets
- Legacy export: add "git" to recognized formats so gittag packages
appear in the legacy cache
- Derives repo name from the git URL in releases.conf
vim-commentary now matches. vim-zig matches on format but has newer
data (expected — Go fetched more recently than Node.js).
ExportLegacy now skips assets with non-empty Variants (installer,
rocm, fxdependent, etc.) and formats Node.js doesn't handle (.deb,
.rpm, .snap, .appx, .tar.zst, .tar.bz2, .7z). This ensures the
_cache/ JSON files are compatible with the legacy Node.js server.
Also fix test data to use dotted format strings (.tar.gz) matching
what the classifier actually produces.
Drop VariantTagger interface and map-based lookup. Each per-installer
package now exports a plain TagVariants function. webicached dispatches
via a switch on package name, consistent with fetchRaw and
classifyPackage.
Move variant detection logic from inline functions in webicached to
per-installer packages (internal/releases/{bun,fish,git,lsd,node,
ollama,pwsh,xcaddy}). Each exports a Tagger implementing the new
storage.VariantTagger interface. webicached uses an explicit map
of package name → tagger, no magic registration.
Extra is for version-related sort metadata (build numbers, etc.).
Variants captures build qualifiers like "rocm", "jetpack5",
"fxdependent", "installer" — things the resolver should skip by
default unless explicitly requested.
Also update format classification docs: most formats (.pkg, .deb,
.dmg, .msi) are extractable — only .exe is ambiguous and needs
the "installer" variant tag when it's not the actual binary.
storage.Store is the read/write interface for release asset storage.
storage.Asset uses correct terminology (Filename, Format) internally.
storage.LegacyAsset / LegacyCache preserve the Node.js wire format
("releases", "name", "ext") for backward compatibility.
fsstore writes to _cache/YYYY-MM/{pkg}.json with atomic rename,
matching the existing Node.js layout. The Node.js server can read
files written by Go and vice versa.
