[Feature Request] (Actually just a heads-up) – Yazi’s nightly is now on Scoop

[MrDwarf7]

yazi --debug output

No actual bug—no debug log needed. Just a friendly notice: Yazi’s nightly build has been added to Scoop’s `versions` bucket

Please describe the problem you're trying to solve

I'm solving the problem of "the best news in town not being widely known."
Essentially, I wanted a way for Windows users to easily install Yazi’s nightly build, so I've added it to Scoop's versions bucket.
This is now pending approval from a Scoop maintainer to review it.

Would you be willing to contribute this feature?

• Yes, I'll give it a shot

Describe the solution you'd like

No changes to Yazi itself—this is purely informational! If you'd like to review or officially maintain the nightly manifest on Scoop, I'm all ears. Otherwise, feel free to continue being awesome.

Additional context

Nightly installation snippet for Windows users:

scoop bucket add versions
scoop install yazi-nightly

Or as a one-liner (for those who hate follow-up commands.)

scoop bucket add versions && scoop install yazi-nightly

No action required on your end. Just letting you know it’s out there in the wild for folks on Windows who want to try out nightly releases.

Checklist

• I have searched the existing issues/discussions
• The latest nightly build doesn't already have this feature

That's awesome, thank you so much for your work @MrDwarf7!

Would you like to also raise a PR to add it to the documentation once the Scoop PR gets accepted?

[MrDwarf7]

Always Happy to contribute to project documentation - Once it's through I'll put a PR together to slot it into the docs :)

Is there a preference to treat Yazi & Yazi-nightly as somewhat 'separate' when approaching documentation?
(ie: Under a different header { Windows -> Yazi || Yazi-Nightly }
Or simply as just another command/version of install?

If you're preference is to have more people trying out the nightly variant- Catching bugs earlier or introduce (upcoming) features to a potentially wider audience sooner I can write in a way that should assist with framing that perspective.

Either way - You'll see the PR when it comes through, have a great one mate!

Just another installation command is enough!

Like Arch Linux does here: https://yazi-rs.github.io/docs/installation/#arch, so those commands in the same title, users can find it more easily.

Closing for now, feel free to add it to the documentation once the PR is merged, thanks!

It would seem that given the amount of time has passed Scoop has updated their requirements for is allowed to pass through their release pipeline.
Part of this is in order to have a package that updates frequently such as a nightly release, it now requires autoupdate & checkver keys.

I've added a small change to your existing CI/CD script (specifically .github/workflows/draft.yml) that generated sha256sum files for each of the items in the release draft.

(This was shamelessly stolen directly from the Wezterm repo. here -credit where it's due and all that)

Once it's been merged, the auto-updater system that scoop uses can check and verify.
