[Feature request] Publish to open-vsx.org

Open Glandos opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Currently, the extension is published on the Marketplace run by Microsoft. However, VSCodium (a popular build of VSCode) is using open-vsx.org as its extension repository.

Describe the solution you'd like I'd like to be able to install Gremlins tracker from open-vsx.org. Two solutions :

  1. Publish it by yourself, with a registration. See https://github.com/eclipse/openvsx/wiki/Publishing-Extensions
  2. Just add a new entry in a JSON file, without registration, but without ownership : https://github.com/open-vsx/publish-extensions

Describe alternatives you've considered Manual installation of VSIX, but it's less easy.

I'm not sure you opened this issue in the right repository, when you say "install i18-ally" and "Manual installation of VSIX"…

Could you please give more informations?

Oooops, since I opened this request multiple times, I actually made copy/paste, and forgot to change the extension name. Sorry!

But I do use Gremlins (I'm using the French BÉPO layout which can insert a non-breaking space on shift-space), and it's pretty useful.

Currently, in Codium, if I want to update Gremlins tracker, I have to go to the market place, download the VSIX, and install it within Codium.

I know this is my choice to use Codium instead of VSCode, but it's mainly because binary builds of Codium are free, while VSCode are not.

Ok, now I understand! 👍

I'll check this ASAP, thanks for opening the issue.

I came here to create this issue, but it already existed :) Have you checked it out yet? See https://open-vsx.org/ and https://www.eclipse.org/legal/open-vsx-registry-faq/#faq-4 for info. My use-case is to be able to have a dedicated editor for my notes using vscodium. vscodium uses open-vsx
