Add Xnview
Powerful Image viewer https://www.xnview.com/en/xnviewmp/#downloads They have a deb available from their website. https://download.xnview.com/XnViewMP-linux-x64.deb
There is no reliable way to determine the published release. Please see: https://github.com/wimpysworld/deb-get#what-is-acceptable
glad I checked the issues before re-suggesting this. I was trying to figure out a way to curl what seems like a minified site, figuring maybe there was an "option/flag" for curl that could do it so the published release version info could be added, but was running into issues figuring if there was a way to do that.
What exactly is the issue with determining the release?
The download page states the version number: https://www.xnview.com/en/xnviewmp/#downloads
Also dpkg --info XnViewMP-linux-x64.deb shows the version of the downloaded file.
What else is needed to include this package?
i guess having the Version number directly in the filename would make it easier @falko Otherwise you need to download the file first to see if it is an update. Having to parse an html page is probably not "reliable" enough.
@yoshimo would the release announcements in the forum be any better source?
Would you be willing to accept a PR that scrapes the website or is that a no-go?
@yoshimo XnView's own update check uses this machine-readable file: https://www.xnview.com/update.txt That should get us going, right? Can you please re-open the issue
The same file is used for XnConvert, which has been requested in https://github.com/wimpysworld/deb-get/issues/64
Can we somehow download the update.txt once for both packages? Or is that too complicated and given the size of the file we should not care.
