Chocolatey package for Altap Salamander

Post by owilsky »

Hi there,

I created a Chocolatey package for Altap Salamander 2.54:
https://chocolatey.org/packages/altap-salamander/2.5.4

Chocolatey is a package manager for Windows, similar as apt-get for Debian Linux.

Once Chocolatey is installed (see here: https://chocolatey.org/), you can install Altap Salamander as easy as this:

Code: Select all

cinst altap-salamander
If you as the company Altap have any problems with this, please let me know.

Nice. You should fix the Authors field.

Hmmm... you're right. I wrote "ALTAP, spol. s r.o." but the comma seems to be a separator for multiple authors, so I will remove the comma for the next version.

Great - thanks to this post here I just found new awesome SW - work it "almost" like apt-get in linux.
My wet dream. I hope, that in some Win2020 will be this fully integrated (and working) - at least in GUI like Synaptic.

But back to the point - thanks to very slow way to "stable" (IMHO are last betas much more bug-free than 2.54) version AS v3.0 will be please possible to make package for some beta there too?
In two weeks we are expecting AS v3.0 beta 4, so... :D

Off topic:
Whole instalation is surprisingly easy - You just paste in cmd:

Code: Select all

@powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command "iex ((new-object 

net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))" && SET PATH=%PATH%;

%systemdrive%\chocolatey\bin
and than You just pick applications - I spend whole morning going trough repository (plus my Program Files) and my result is this simple command for reinstal majority of my apps (cca 100 of them, I am missing just something like 20 others):

Code: Select all

I think we're even expecting beta 5.
I already made a package for 3.0 beta 4, you have to add the -pre parameter:

Code: Select all

cinst altap-salamander-beta -pre

Oh, my mistake - beta 4 is what is actually running on my PC just now.
Thx for cinst altap-salamander-beta -pre - but how is it, that I wasnt able to find this by https://chocolatey.org/packages?q=salamander ? Where to look (for more recent versions of packages)?
I found just 2.54 stable version.
I made new thread on chocolatey googleGroup too, so we can solve this there with other issues.

There's a combo box, default option while searching is "stable".

Eh, my fault :(
I saw this box - I even changed it, but every refresh (and every new search or listing other page it jump back on "stable only") and I missed this... :evil:

3.0 final packages are uploaded now, package altap-salamander contains always latest stable version, package "altap-salamander-beta" always includes bleeding edge version, including alphas and betas. Right now the beta package has the stable version because this is the latest release ;-)

Simply update with "cup altap-salamander", "cup altap-salamander-beta" or even "cup all".
