installer should set Name alpine versioned, e.g. "Alpine-3.15.0"
Currently, installing alpine results in a new wsl.exe --list --verbose
entry named Alpine
.
Using release 3.1.5.0, for example:
PS> Invoke-WebRequest https://github.com/yuk7/AlpineWSL/releases/download/3.15.0-0/Alpine.zip -out Alpine.zip
PS> Expand-Archive Alpine.zip
PS> cd Alpine
PS> .\Alpine.exe
Using: .\rootfs.tar.gz
Installing...
Installation complete
Press enter to continue...
PS> wsl.exe --list --verbose
NAME STATE VERSION
Alpine Stopped 2
...
I would like to be able to install Alpine releases "side by side". However, I presume they will both use WSL entry name Alpine
(and overwrite the other). Also, having the Alpine version as part of the WSL name is informative.
I would prefer
PS> wsl.exe --list --verbose
NAME STATE VERSION
Alpine-3.15.0-0 Stopped 2
...
Relates to WSL #4241.
I think this is good, but it may break some automated scripts. This project uses its own launcher, so you can rename the exe file and rename the instance.
rename Alpine.exe Alpine-3.15.0-0.exe
Alpine-3.15.0-0.exe
