@r15ch13 Hey, when you get a spare moment, could you take a look at why cygwin isn't updating beyond 2.895? I think it's because the sha512 aren't being updated on https://cygwin.com/sha512.sum but I have no idea how to help resolve the issue. Version 2.895 is from back in October '18, whereas it's at 3.0.1 as of a week or two ago. Thanks!

Hi there. After installing dig, I'm unable to run it through the GitBash.
I'm getting this error:

C:/Users/<me>/scoop/shims/dig.exe: error while loading shared libraries: ?: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

It works fine from the powershell

Any idea what's wrong?

@equinox Setup’s version is still 2.895. The Cygwin.dll’s version is 3.01. They should list setup’s version number to avoid the confusion.

@equinox

@rasa cheers for the response and yeah they should, it sure confused the heck out of me!

Would it be possible to require a description for a package manifest?

The library is growing so quickly it's hard to keep up with everything available, going through scoop info followed by scoop home (because there is no short description) is a bit annoying

Richard Kuhnt

@r15ch13

@cpriest might be a good thing. Currently there are many manifest without a description that need to be updated before we make it a requirement.

Richard Kuhnt

@r15ch13

The following command lists all manifests without a description:

Get-ChildItem bucket\*.json | % { @{ file = $_; json = $(Get-Content $_ | ConvertFrom-Json)} } | ? { $null -eq $_.json.description } | % { $_.File.FullName }

Clint Priest

@cpriest

I'd be happy to try and contribute descriptions to those that aren't fitting the requirement yet

Mathias Hermansson

Can we change the version logic when running scoop update <manifest> to always install the bucket version even if it evaluates to a "lower" version then what is currently installed?

Reasons:

Upstream rollback of version, eg downgrade because of bug or other reasons.
"-" in version, for example almost all java packages (11-33 versus 11.0.2-12).

Hey guys, what happens if I define both jp and regex of hash in autoupdate? Will it use that regex to extract hash from the json result (extracted by that jsonpath)?

Richard Kuhnt

@r15ch13

@athrunsun No jsonpath and regex don't work together for autoupdate.hash.

What is the checkver used for?

If scoop need developers' PR to update app to new version?

Richard Kuhnt

@r15ch13

checkver is for checking for program updates and downloading/calculating the checksum. It updates the *.json file and you can create a pull-request. (all apps in official bucket get updated automatically by https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Excavator)

Lin Kun

@ssfjhh

It's my understanding that developers don't need to creat a PR to update a APP's version. You may update them termly via this Excavator?

Am I right?

How offen you update the apps in offcial bucket?

Richard Kuhnt

@r15ch13

The update service runs every hour. As long as the developers of an app don't change the URL or use a crazy version number (that doesn't match the checkver information of the json file) then it will get updated. The logfiles can be found here: https://scoop.r15.ch/

Lin Kun

@ssfjhh

scoop is much better than I thought.

Bruce Sun

@athrunsun

@r15ch13 Thanks for your reply. Does scoop reset also recreating shortcuts (.lnk) for apps?

Richard Kuhnt

@r15ch13

@athrunsun yes it does

Bruce Sun

@athrunsun

@r15ch13 OK, thank you very much!

On https://scoop.sh/, the "programs" link is broken

it points to https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop/tree/master/bucket

Hi Scoop community!

I've run through the issue section and wiki on GitHub in search for this, but have come up empty. I really enjoy how Scoop isolates installs to a single directory and isn't relying or requiring admin privileges, but I was wondering whether it's possible to change the installation path?

E.g.

$ scoop install python  # ends up in %userprofile%\scoop
$ scoop install python --prefix c:\my\custom\dir  # ends up in c:\my\custom\dir

Some approaches I've considered are:

Creating a junction from c:\my\custom\dir to %userprofile%\scoop to "trick" scoop into installing elsewhere.
Somehow editing the value of $scoopdir to c:\my\custom\dir

But was hoping for something simpler. Alternative one doesn't work, for example, if the user already has apps installed there, unless I delete those first.

The second I believe won't work consistently, since I gather apps aren't necessarily using this one variable to determine an installation path, but could also use e.g. $persist_dir

I found SCOOP and SCOOP_HOME environment variables used by AppVeyor, and they seem to do the trick, somewhat. They don't appear editable post-install, as Scoop complains about directories missing, and about Scoop itself not being available in apps/ which is understandable. For now, since I'm calling this from within a script/wrapper, I'm working around it by recreating the SCOOP_HOME directory structure, including shims/scoop and apps/scoop prior to installing any apps. Not ideal, and am still interested to hear of alternatives!

Clint Priest

@cpriest

I believe the SCOOP_HOME is stored ~/.scoop as well

Marcus Ottosson

@mottosso

I found that I need to set both SCOOP_HOME and SCOOP for anything to happen; possibly only one of them but haven't dug deeper just yet. What is their purpose, are they meant for the end-user, or are the meant primarily for debugging?

I haven't found docs for them, and more oddly haven't found any mention of it in any actual code, other than than the AppVeyor config https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop/search?q=scoop_home&unscoped_q=scoop_home

Richard Kuhnt

@r15ch13

SCOOP_HOME is only used by the bucket scripts in bin (like checkver.ps1 and auto-pr.ps1, See: https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Main/tree/master/bin)

Changing the installation directory is not supported.

Marcus Ottosson

@mottosso

Thanks for confirming @r15ch13, would it be interesting to officially support it?

@xeijin

Has anyone used this before?

https://github.com/guitarrapc/ScoopPlaybook

From what I can discern it seems to be a powershell module that uses scoop and ansible-like yaml configuration files to automate setup?

Documentation is a bit sparse though

It's looking like Discord is more active than here, will move to there for my next enquiry.

Hey guys, has anyone tried installing nvm-windows with scoop? After successful installation of nvm-windows I installed latest nodejs LTS version, but when I tried to execute node.exe, powershell told me Program 'node.exe' failed to run: The specified executable is not a valid application for this OS platform.

why is this interface more intuitive than discord? oh my god, i know how to edit my previous posts on gitter. i still don't know how to do it on discord, its been 2 months.

Richard Kuhnt

@r15ch13

@trip23app press the up arrow key in discord to edit your last message. or hover over it and click on the small three dots (the same as gitter)

hey guys, is there a simple way to install oracle jdk 8?

I've added the java bucket, and found out the oraclejdk-8 is unavailable

Richard Kuhnt

@r15ch13

@kid1412621 oraclejdk is only available behind a login page since April. So it can't be installed via scoop anymore.
