Well, I'm just automating what people currently have to do manually : visit GitHub and download DEB and install DEB.
If the automated process would be dangerous then the manual process also would be, and that would be on the maintainer for not providing an APT repository or a Flatpak, not on the user for just downloading from GitHub.
I didn't know there was one, that's interesting, thanks.
Updates must still be delayed because of being third-party though.
Discord not automating downloads of DEBs is one of the reasons motivating me to do this.
Personally I need the desktop client because I mod it with plugins that are so useful that I can't do without these anymore.
Alternatively, there are third-party repositories here and here.
There still is delay between Discord releases and repository updates so I still believe dynapt to be the better solution.
In an APT package OMG 😂
I found an online version though, which I would never have found through my search engine (and on a site that doesn't even support HTTPS) 😅
Looks like difficult reading too 😭
Thanks anyway.
Sorry to ask
Don't be. I would love to know that an existing and more experienced program does what mine does.
I've been looking for it myself for a long time before deciding to build it.
isn’t this basically the same thing as apt-cacher-ng?
Here's what I'm reading :
Apt-Cache-ng is A caching proxy. Specialized for package files from Linux distributors, primarily for Debian (and Debian based) distributions but not limited to those.
A caching proxy have the following benefits:
- Lower latency
- Reduce WAN traffic
- Higher speed for cached contents
+------------+ +------------+ +------------+ | Apt Client | <------+ Apt Cache | <------+ Apt Mirror | +------------+ +------------+ +------------+
So, not the same thing.
It locally mirrors existing repositories containing existing packages, it doesn't locally create a new repository for new packages from standalone DEBs.
local repo with
file://
scheme
With that, I couldn't trigger a download when apt update
is ran, I could only do a cron, i.e. a delay, that I do not want.
custom apt-transport
I thought about that, but found no documentation on how to do it. If you have any, I'm interested.
Even just finding documentation on how to generate DEBs and APT repository metadata files was very hard.
Thank you for your appreciation !
Je ne mettrai jamais une personne enceinte de ma vie car j'estime que ce serait une condamnation pour cet enfant compte tenu du monde dans lequel on vit, pas besoin de citer d'éléments spécifiques.
Mais si je finissais quand même un jour par changer d'avis, aussi improbable que cela soit, j'adopterais, car j'estime qu'il y a déjà assez d'enfants sans parents dans ce monde.
It doesn't, that's provided by Cortile.
