Pull requests are welcome! Before submitting, please ensure:
- The software has a clear open-source license or freeware terms
- Valid
checkverandautoupdateconfigurations are provided - Manifests follow Scoop App Manifests guidelines
- The

checkverobject syntax (e.g.,"checkver": { "github": "https://github.com/owner/repo" }) licenseshould use object syntax with bothidentifierandurlpointing to the upstream LICENSE file- For apps storing user data under
$env:APPDATA/$env:USERPROFILE, preferbin/persist-utils.ps1to make them portable; use single-quoted delayed expressions inLinkMapvalues
Minimal persist-utils Usage โ
"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
| Type | Approach |
|---|---|
| Zip / 7z | Direct url โ Scoop auto-extracts; use extract_dir if needed |
| Single exe | url with #/name.exe fragment to keep the filename |
| Inno Setup | "innosetup": true |
| NSIS | Append #/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 NSIS | pre_install with two Expand-7zipArchive calls (NSIS layer โ app-64.7z) |
