The node package already merges both sources via unofficial_url
in releases.conf. The split packages were a workaround that
produced cache files not present in the live Node.js cache.
- yq: move man_page_only from general isMetaAsset to yq-specific tagger
- node: restore .exe as stored asset with "bare-exe" variant (installable
by Go, excluded from legacy)
- ollama: rename Ollama-darwin.zip variant from "installer" to "app"
(.app bundle is installable by Go, just not by legacy Node.js)
The distinction: general classification/filter (isMetaAsset) handles
truly non-installable files. Installer-specific taggers handle assets
that are installable but need variant tagging. Legacy filter strips
variants and unsupported formats for Node.js compat.
Node.js index lists "win-x64-exe" but there's no .exe file on the
download server. The MSI installer (separate "msi" entry) is the actual
Windows installer. The "exe" entry was generating a phantom filename.
asset_filter is a substring that asset filenames must contain. Used when
multiple packages share a GitHub release (kubectx/kubens both come from
ahmetb/kubectx). Added as a first-class Conf field and applied in
webicached's applyConfig.
MinGit-busybox is a stripped-down MinGit using busybox instead of MSYS2.
pdbs-for-git-* filenames weren't caught by the existing "-pdb" check.
Both are now tagged as variants and excluded from legacy export.
fish-{version}.tar.xz is an uploaded source tarball with no OS/arch in
the filename. GitHub API doesn't distinguish it from binaries. Tag assets
with no OS and no arch as "source" variant so they're filtered from
legacy export. The linux .tar.xz binaries classify correctly and are
kept — Node.js just doesn't have them yet.
Baseline builds (-baseline suffix) are plain x86_64 and match what Node.js
serves. Strip -baseline from Filename (keep in Download URL) so legacy
export sees a clean name. Non-baseline builds get Arch: x86_64_v3 and
Variants: ["v3"], excluding them from legacy output.
Add .tar.bz2 to classifier format detection (was slipping through
as empty format). Update COMPARISON.md with fresh results: 21 exact
matches, .deb/.rpm/.tar.zst/.tar.bz2 now correctly filtered from
legacy export. Document remaining items for review.
28 exact matches at latest version (up from 12). Reorganize by
difference category. Update action items to reflect current design
(Variants field, format handling, node multi-source fix).
- comparecache: use lexver.Compare for version sorting instead of
lexicographic sort (v9.9.0 was incorrectly ranked above v25.8.0)
- webicached/expandNodeFile: add riscv64, loong64 arch mappings and
7z format support for unofficial Node.js builds
- COMPARISON.md: rewrite with version-level review findings including
format filtering gaps (.pkg/.msi/.deb/.dmg), build variant design
(Extra field for rocm/jetpack/fxdependent), and node multi-source issue
- cmd/comparecache: compares Go cache vs Node.js LIVE_cache at filename
level, categorizes differences (meta-filtering, version depth, source
tarballs, unsupported sources, real asset differences)
- COMPARISON.md: per-package checklist with 91 live packages categorized
- webicached: add -no-fetch flag to classify from existing raw data only
- GO_WEBI.md: update Phase 1 checkboxes for completed items
