Source type is now inferred from the primary key:
github_repo = owner/repo (was source=github + owner + repo)
git_url = https://... (was source=gittag + url)
gitea_repo = owner/repo (was source=gitea + owner + repo)
hashicorp_product = name (was source=hashicorp + product)
One-off dist sources (nodedist, zigdist, etc.) keep the explicit
source= key since they're already one-liners.
Parser still accepts the old format via the default fallback branch.
- postgres/psql: add asset_filter to separate assets from shared repo
(bnnanet/postgresql-releases contains postgres-*, postgresql-*, psql-*)
- watchexec: change tag_prefix to version_prefixes so old plain-tagged
releases (v1.20.6+) aren't filtered out — only strip the cli- prefix
- classify: add .minisig, b3sums, dist-manifest.json to IsMetaAsset
filter to prevent checksum/signature files from leaking into cache
Vim plugins with gittag source:
- vim-airline, vim-airline-themes, vim-ale, vim-devicons, vim-go
- vim-nerdtree, vim-prettier, vim-rust, vim-sensible, vim-shfmt
- vim-syntastic
rust.vim is a directory symlink to vim-rust, so it shares the same
releases.conf automatically.
Alias confs (alias_of):
- postgresql → postgres
- postgresql-client, postgres-client → psql
- mariadb-server, mariadbd → mariadb
- gnupg → gpg, iterm → iterm2, ziglang → zig
- trippy → trip, powershell → pwsh
Fix: psql is its own package (postgres client), not an alias of
postgres (server). Both use the same GitHub repo
(bnnanet/postgresql-releases) but install different binaries.
New fetcher packages:
- chromedist: Chrome for Testing API (googlechromelabs.github.io)
- gpgdist: SourceForge RSS for GPG macOS
- mariadbdist: MariaDB downloads REST API
New releases.conf files for:
- GitHub: aliasman, awless, duckdns.sh, hugo-extended, kubens, rg, postgres
- gittag: vim-commentary, vim-zig
- gitea: pathman
- chromedist: chromedriver
- gpgdist: gpg
- mariadbdist: mariadb
- nodedist: node
Alias support (alias_of key):
- golang → go, dashd → dashcore, psql → postgres, zig.vim → vim-zig
- Aliases skip fetching and share cache with their target
Every package with a releases.js now has a releases.conf (except the
dead macos package). fetchraw dispatches to all 13 source types.
