packages

Primary and community-submitted packages for https://webinstall.dev

Guidelines

• Should install to ./local/opt/<package>-<version>
• Should not need sudo (except perhaps for a one-time setcap, etc)
• Follow the example of https://github.com/webinstall/packages/tree/master/node
  • Note: the version handling is nasty, we'd like to move this to an API

Roadmap

• Wrap release APIs to unify and expose
  • Golang https://golang.org/dl/?mode=json
  • Node https://nodejs.org/dist/index.tab
  • Flutter https://storage.googleapis.com/flutter_infra/releases/releases_linux.json - Started at https://github.com/webinstall/packages/blob/master/flutter/versions.js
  • git - Note: do all platforms expose tar/zip releases with the same URLs?
  • npm
  • github (NOT until git is supported)
• Support git urls (i.e. @github.com/node/node)
  • (maybe ghi node/node for github specifically)
