Add Standalone Packages to...

[cschuchardt88]

We should open the options for neo-express with soon to be standalone packages with #358. The reason for doing this will allow users to use the app without installing dotnet. Also random searches in these repos may bring new users to the platform after seeing the neo-express in action.

Repos

Windows Package Manager (winget) Setup and Submit packages. After you create the initial request. I can setup github action workflow to deploy new releases.

apt-get Can use github repo for this Setup.

dotnet tool we already use this method.

neo.org/downloads.html Have a download page for neo-express. This would be a big benefit seeing how no one knows about this app. Let alone where or how to download it.

brew I don't know how

@shargon @Liaojinghui

I would like to know if any of this is possible with the neo-project. What the process of getting all this setup? Cause we will need a new hosting repo for apt-get, I'm pretty sure brew and any others. Maybe nccs, neo-cli will follow in suite?

This should be handled by NGD. @steven1227 @Ashuaidehao @superboyiii

[chenzhitong]

If a standalone packages is created, I can add a link to it here https://neo.org/neogas#wallets

[cschuchardt88]

@chenzhitong #358 is in the process of getting approved for images.

[cschuchardt88]

well #358 is now live. And word on the future for images on neo.org @chenzhitong ?

I would really like to add to winget. It would have to be this repo to do the initial PR to winget to get the package started

[chenzhitong]

Can you write a profile of neo-express, describing what kind of wallet it is. @cschuchardt88 And what's the download page, GitHub Release? There's no release file to download yet!

[cschuchardt88]

@Liaojinghui when is a release coming out? so we can get a download.

@chenzhitong its not a wallet, its a developer node, put it here https://neo.org/dev#tooling

You would add the download link to the git repo release page for the time being.

[chenzhitong]

We need a logo for neo-express

[cschuchardt88]

[cschuchardt88]

@chenzhitong i made that, but currently i added neo-cli icon to neo-express but we can use the one above

[Jim8y]

@cschuchardt88 maybe ask ngd for that. I dont know if NGD has some rules to make logos. @steven1227

[steven1227]

We have no rules. I like this logo actually ~

[chenzhitong]

Done, text description from readme.md https://neo.org/dev#tooling

[chenzhitong]

Fixed logo edge jaggedness

[Jim8y]

close as finished.

[cschuchardt88]

@Liaojinghui we still need standalone packages release?

[Jim8y]

@Liaojinghui we still need standalone packages release?

@steven1227 this standalone packages release thing can only be handled by NGD.

[cschuchardt88]

Can't we still release on in github?

@steven1227 winget would be a nice addition. Should get us some new users.

[steven1227]

winget only works for windows I think. We should think about all platforms

[Jim8y]

@cschuchardt88 may you please add <DebugType>portable</DebugType> https://github.com/neo-project/neo-express/actions/runs/7044264979/job/19171782715

[cschuchardt88]

I have a workflow for building debian packages. Which will install all required dependencies.

Each OS has to be done one at a time.

@gsmachado do you know how to create brew packages on macOS?

[gsmachado]

Yes, I'm working on the brew and apt-get repositories. I will release something soon. 😄
