[Feature Request] Winget and Scoop support
hi, is there any plan to make the new releases available in winget, scoop or choco?
Yes, would like to get Zebar added to Winget and Scoop at some point. From what I can remember, they have some star requirements so not sure whether we're eligible currently.
ok. currently the setup file needs admin access. can it be changed so it can be installed without admin access?
I believe it needs elevation just to save to C:\Program Files\. It could be changed to not save to C:\Program Files\, but that’s the most standard install location on Windows
Hm yeah, I'm seeing the same. We're running a custom Wix template - I tried just now to change it to the default Tauri one and encountering the same behavior where elevation is needed for the home folder. A bit surprising since there's surely a lot of Tauri apps on Scoop.
I came to ask the same (scoop), that would be great, along the same lines a portable version would be nice: publishing the exe like you do for Glaze.

Apparently packaging a Tauri app as a portable .exe is possible but not really ideal https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/discussions/3048
Does scoop/winget disallow .msi's that require elevation? Trying to find some relevant docs for this @azinsharaf
i use a portable version of scoop that allows to install the apps in the home folder without admin right. winget needs admin right since i haven't found a portable winget version.

It makes sense, I'm going to ask on the Tauri board about the current status of things about this and scoop msi extraction mechanism and report here
i use a portable version of scoop that allows to install the apps in the home folder without admin right.
That's how scoop works by default

that is true. i meant choco portable.
I think in the case of zebar just extracting the binary seems to work. I made a very basic recipe for scoop here: zebar.json
And this is the tree it installs (in ~/scoop/apps):
I made this quickly but I think wrapping the shims by the bat zebar provides is possible
@melMass will your bot update your scoop bucket for the latest release or would you have to do that manually?

Yep thanks to this line: https://github.com/melMass/scoop-mtb/blob/1115cb8e7d39a073d3dc40e5d24bcfed24c22021/bucket/zebar.json#L29
BUT (thanks for the notice) they changed the "naming convention" in 1.4.0 so it did not pick it up, I will fix it later today
Updated, it should work fine and update properly given the layout/naming convention doesn't change.

Sorry to say but just updated the naming convention once more 😅 GitHub alphabetically ordered the assets so the x64 Windows download was listed way at the bottom, which I think was causing some people to mistakenly download the arm64 version.
The new asset names are:
zebar-<VERSION>-opt1-x64.msi
zebar-<VERSION>-opt2-arm64.msi
zebar-<VERSION>-opt3.dmg
zebar-<VERSION>-opt4-x64.deb
zebar-<VERSION>-opt5-x64.AppImage
Thanks for cooking up a scoop config @melMass 🙏
Thanks for the heads up: https://github.com/melMass/scoop-mtb/commit/e6882b1aef175a1c8d22c62be22ed09a99b2a538
@melMass I tested the zebar.json and it worked. Nice job.
What about creating a PR to the scoop extras bucket?

Yes, I will check the process!
zebar is now available on winget: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/tree/master/manifests/g/glzr-io/zebar/1.8.1
@felipecrp please open an issue/feature request on Extras that I will reference in the PR
