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.
Updated install.sh for bat, fd, gh, goreleaser, lsd, rg, sd, watchexec,
and zoxide to extract and install shell completions (bash, fish, zsh) and
man pages from their release archives. Completions go to standard XDG
locations under the versioned opt directory. All moves use 2>/dev/null
fallbacks for older versions that don't include completions.
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.
ripgrep is fast, but no non-toy search tool is going to be faster in
every case. It's better to be a bit more reserved instead of spreading
misinformation about the performance of a tool. It may be an obvious
embellishment, but plenty of people will take it seriously.
In general, I think we should encourage spreading the nuance in the
trade offs of our tools as opposed to hyping them.
