๐Ÿšš Apeiraco Scoop-Bucket โ€‹

A bucket of unconventional software that official repos won't carry.

๐Ÿค Contributing โ€‹

Pull requests are welcome! Before submitting, please ensure:

  • The software has a clear open-source license or freeware terms
  • Valid checkver and autoupdate configurations are provided
  • Manifests follow Scoop App Manifests guidelines
  • The architecture field is mandatory unless the app only provides a 32-bit download
  • Use explicit checkver object syntax (e.g., "checkver": { "github": "https://github.com/owner/repo" })
  • license should use object syntax with both identifier and url pointing to the upstream LICENSE file
  • For apps storing user data under $env:APPDATA / $env:USERPROFILE, prefer bin/persist-utils.ps1 to make them portable; use single-quoted delayed expressions in LinkMap values

Minimal persist-utils Usage โ€‹

json
"installer": {
  "script": [
    ". \"$bucketsdir\\apeiraco\\bin\\persist-utils.ps1\"",
    "Set-PersistLinks -PersistDir $persist_dir -LinkMap @{ 'appdata' = '$env:APPDATA\\Vendor\\App'; 'userdata' = '$env:USERPROFILE\\.vendor-app' }"
  ]
},
"uninstaller": {
  "script": [
    ". \"$bucketsdir\\apeiraco\\bin\\persist-utils.ps1\"",
    "Remove-PersistLinks -PersistDir $persist_dir -LinkMap @{ 'appdata' = '$env:APPDATA\\Vendor\\App'; 'userdata' = '$env:USERPROFILE\\.vendor-app' }"
  ]
}

The generated restore-official-data.ps1 is location-portable ($PSScriptRoot) and evaluates LinkMap values at execution time.

Common Installer Patterns โ€‹

TypeApproach
Zip / 7zDirect url โ€” Scoop auto-extracts; use extract_dir if needed
Single exeurl with #/name.exe fragment to keep the filename
Inno Setup"innosetup": true
NSISAppend #/dl.7z to url โ€” 7-Zip natively extracts NSIS; use extract_dir to pick target folder
Electron NSIS#/dl.7z + "extract_dir": "$PLUGINSDIR" + pre_install to expand inner app-64.7z via Expand-7zipArchive
Zip-wrapped NSISpre_install with two Expand-7zipArchive calls (NSIS layer โ†’ app-64.7z)
