Packaging for scoop (Windows), Chocolatey (Windows), pkg (FreeBSD)

[CarterLi]

Also don't package flashfetch, as it's meant to be built from source. Including two binaries may confuse users

[LinusDierheimer]

I thought the same and disabled it in the past, but then i was explicitly asked to package it again, see https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/fastfetch-git?O=10#comment-859498

[CarterLi]

Ok.

Will we have 1.8.0 soon?

[LinusDierheimer]

There are things i wanted to push before, but they can wait for 1.9 too. What do you think about now? I have time today.

[CarterLi]

Lets wait for your pushing

[vvirtues]

would be very useful for scoop users like me

Windows builds aren't currently in GitHub releases, how would that work for Scoop?

• Scoop: fastfetch: Add version 1.8.2 ScoopInstaller/Main#4334

@CarterLi Winget 1.4 has been released, supporting zip file installation (https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/releases/tag/v1.4.10173).

Please consider packaging for Winget as well. I have already created an initial PR to add fastfetch to winget-pkgs: microsoft/winget-pkgs#94697. Winget Releaser would have to be set up in this repo to push out automatic updates to the manifest.

Ping @vedantmgoyal2009, Is Winget Releaser ready for 1.4 manifests?

Thanks for reminding me. I'll do it by end of this month.

[CarterLi]

Scoop has been supported. Request for chocolatey has been opened for several months but seems no one cares ( I personally don't use choco ).

And I can't even find where to submit package request for FreeBSD...

Closing as stale. @sitiom if you need my help in the future, feel free to open new issues.
