Cannot install gcc

[midnightexigent]

Hi, I just tried to install gcc and got this error

~
❯ scoop install gcc

I experience the same:

When is shovel-org/Base@6ab2ed3 going to be accepted?

PS. @Ash258, you seem to be reacting to my comment.

Can you explain what's going on between these three repos + how do they relate:
https://github.com/lukesampson/scoop
https://github.com/Ash258/Scoop-Core
https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Main

What's the deal or the roadmap?

[sskras]

@Ash258, as you react with 😄 the second time, I tried googling a bit more.

Now my guess is that you just want to say you have hard time maintaining documentation of your own repo.
(namely public relations between these two projects).

So it your repo could speak out something clear like rasa/scoop-directory by @rasa

Did I get your :smile: right? Or do you just try being offensive?

Either way, these URLs bring more clarity about the relation mess:
#2609
#4456
ScoopInstaller/Main#2403
Ash258#63

(Going offtopic because of some restrictions)

@Ash258: I have an issue installing gcc from shovel.
I would like to report it and help debugging.
But Ash258/Scoop-Core responds with the error:

You can't perform that action at this time.

Any hints?

[midnightexigent]

@sskras well at least now you know the meaning of the ':smile:' lol

[sskras]

Quite the otherwise, I'd say. =)

I know why the original scoop fails. It looks abandoned and the forks look to be short on manpower too.

But I'm still unsure whether @Ash258 is trolling, being sincerely passive-aggressive or it's something else.

I found a way to work around this using his Ash258/Scoop-Core fork.

Since he has blocked me on it, I used my another (academic) account to ask some questions about using shovel:
https://github.com/Ash258/Scoop-Core/issues/208

To which I received no response. And found out the workaround on my own.
Since the issue was deleted afterwards, I am reposting my quest here.

Quoting the original Ash258/Scoop-Core/issues/208 report:

I followed shovel installation guide from README.md (a clean setup).
After it this I already got 5 packages installed:

PS C:\Users\hp> shovel list
Installed applications:

  7zip 19.00 [main]
  dark 3.11.2 [main]
  git 2.33.0.windows.2 [main]
  innounp 0.50 [main]
  lessmsi 1.8.2 [main]

So far so good. Now if I try installing the gcc, I get following error:

PS C:\Users\hp> shovel install gcc

Please try again or create a new issue by using the following link and paste your console output:

I will provide other debugging information if instructed.
What can be done to fix it?

Quoting my Ash258/Scoop-Core/issues/208 update/comment:

OK, it seems I just needed to add Shovel Base Bucket (sucessor of main, WIP):

PS C:\Users\hp> shovel bucket add Base https://github.com/shovel-org/Base.git
Checking repository...
Cloning bucket repository...
The Base bucket was added successfully.
PS C:\Users\hp> shovel update

Scoop was updated successfully!

Now I get two versions of gcc, and v9 of course remains broken, as the original fix shovel-org/Base@6ab2ed3 for v9.3.0-2 was update to v10.3.0-5:

PS C:\Users\hp> scoop search gcc

Thanks for updating it.

So this might help you @midnightexigent too. :)
