Jeeze. I wish there was a tool or service out there to publish apps to all the major package managers. I really dread having to learn like six package manager systems and create scripts to convert my app to them in order for users to be able to load it. 😭

The hardest problem in computer science is getting any of your dependencies to compile cross platform. The second hardest is app distribution across said platforms. 😜

BTW, if anyone is looking for a to get @agregore published across some of the major platforms, I'd love to chat.

Ideally you'll have published an Electron app to either Windows/Mac OS/Ubuntu/AUR.

Boosts appreciated.

@mauve @agregore A little off topic here, sorry.
But will Aggregore still support hypercore even with the archive of Beaker Project?

@lumen @agregore Yup! I'm actually working on updating the `hyper://` protocol handlers to the latest holepunch versions of the stack in the next week or two. 😁

A bunch of the work on Agregore is intertwined with distributed.press and @compost via the Hypha worker coop. They're doing publishing, and Agregore is doing viewing. Hyper is part of the protocols we're supporting on both ends.

@mauve @agregore @compost

That's awesome news! This made my day. Thanks for the and answer.
And that's why you are one of my favorite people in the world!

@mauve i generally like the AUR -> arch package -> deb/rpm pipeline, it makes it easiest for all mainstream distros

@technobaboo This is a pipeline someone has to set up manually?

I've got CI builds for all of the major platforms working already, but getting them to actually publish as part of the CI feels very daunting. Especially with Windows/Mac OS.

FWIW I've only ever published iOS and Mac OS apps in the past.

@technobaboo Wow, this is great! Hopefully there's some existing docs for using this with Electron apps. Ty for the link 🙇
