📓 Common learnings

Learnt from: o-l-a-v
Repo: ScoopInstaller/Extras PR: 16378
File: bucket/compactgui.json:20-22
Timestamp: 2025-10-19T13:58:23.389Z
Learning: In the ScoopInstaller/Extras repository, the CompactGUI manifest removed hash verification from the autoupdate block because the hash verification mechanism (scraping SHA-256 from release page HTML) is no longer available in newer CompactGUI releases. GitHub asset digests exist in beta releases but not in v3.8.0, and Scoop doesn't have built-in support for extracting from GitHub API asset digests.

Learnt from: Gitoffthelawn
Repo: ScoopInstaller/Extras PR: 16106
File: bucket/czkawka-gui.json:25-25
Timestamp: 2025-09-05T09:41:52.653Z
Learning: For czkawka-gui manifests in Scoop Extras, the correct upstream filename pattern for Windows GUI builds in recent versions uses "gtk46" (without underscore), not "gtk_46" (with underscore). The autoupdate URL should use "windows_czkawka_gui_gtk46.zip" format. This was confirmed by a working 10.0.0 update with valid hash.

File: bucket/zed.json:18-21
Timestamp: 2025-10-16T06:32:15.420Z
Learning: The Zed Windows application has three separate executables after InnoSetup extraction:
- `zed.exe` at root: GUI application (used in shortcuts)
- `bin/zed`: Shell script for WSL integration
- `bin/zed.exe`: Zed CLI binary with different behavior than the GUI
All three should be preserved in the manifest.

Timestamp: 2025-10-16T13:42:43.224Z
Learning: In the DebugViewPP project (CobaltFusion/DebugViewPP), the executable name changed from "DebugView++.exe" (in v1.8.0.103 and earlier) to "Debugviewpp.exe" (in v1.9.0.28 and later). The manifest bucket/debugviewpp.json correctly uses "Debugviewpp.exe" for current versions.

Learning: For czkawka-gui manifests in Scoop Extras, the correct upstream filename pattern for Windows GUI builds in recent versions uses "gtk46" (without underscore), not "gtk_46" (with underscore).

🔇 Additional comments (4)

bucket/deltapatcher.json (4)

26-35: Clarify why autoupdate block lacks hash entries.

The autoupdate section (lines 26-35) defines architecture-specific URLs with version templating but does not include hash entries. Per a prior learning from CompactGUI (PR 16378), hash entries are sometimes omitted from autoupdate blocks when hash extraction mechanisms are unavailable.

Confirm whether:

1. This is intentional for DeltaPatcher (e.g., hashes cannot be reliably extracted from GitHub releases)
2. Or whether hash entries should be added (using a hash extraction pattern if available)

---

19-24: Verify DeltaPatcher.exe is the primary application executable.

The shortcut maps DeltaPatcher.exe to "Delta Patcher". Confirm that this is the correct executable name and primary entry point in the extracted archive. If there are multiple executables or dependencies (e.g., DLLs or supporting binaries), verify that all necessary files are preserved in the archive.

---

9-18: URLs verified; manually confirm SHA-256 hashes for both artifacts.

Both architecture-specific assets exist on the v3.1.6 release:

• windows_bin_x86.zip ✓ present (1540181 bytes)
• windows_bin_x86_64.zip ✓ present (1708288 bytes)

Verify the SHA-256 hashes by downloading the artifacts and computing their digests locally:

32-bit manifest: 447b434dbf0518c92a876b6081c5530dc1cb0730f91b0036016e1c8af15dcb85
64-bit manifest: 6fae5d8af839339a9adaf053f30d9444476ee2ca45cb0f38049f7c82ba5c01be

---

1-8: Metadata alignment verified; verify GitHub URLs and hashes.

The manifest metadata is correct: version 3.1.6 matches the latest upstream release (published 18 Aug 2025), license identifier aligns with GPL-2.0, and JSON structure is valid. However, manually verify:

• GitHub release URLs (32bit and 64bit) resolve to actual v3.1.6 artifacts
• SHA-256 hashes match the actual downloaded files
• DeltaPatcher.exe is the correct primary executable
• Missing hashes in autoupdate block is intentional design (not an oversight)
