Elixir 1.14 is great!
However, the new release format seems to be causing trouble.
So far I’ve seen 2 tools that automate around the release assets.
-
scoop (one of the package management tools on Windows) fails to install 1.14
It tries to get checksum from the release note (now gone, moved into a release asset)
It tries to downloadPrecompiled.zip, which now changed toelixir-otp-23.zip,elixir-otp-24.zip, andelixir-otp-25.zip
Main/bucket/elixir.json at master · ScoopInstaller/Main · GitHub -
Renovate (similar to dependabot) fails to update dependencies (when trying to install elixir 1.14)

For scoop you just need to change
"url": "https://github.com/elixir-lang/elixir/releases/download/v1.14.0/elixir-otp-25.zip"upstream.And the
autoupdateshould be something like:For Renovate it’s probably also just changing the URL somewhere upstream?
princemaple
I’m afraid changing that would cause previous versions not installable.
webuhu
You’re right. I’ve missed the feature of installing different versions in scoop completely.
For this scenario I don’t have a solution for scoop beside having two manifests (latest, pre_v1.14).
princemaple
Yup. That’s the one suggestion I got from scoop community. Was hoping we can have an aliased release asset, i.e. Precompiled.zip which is the same as lowest OTP version.
Like what elixir-ls has. Releases · elixir-lsp/elixir-ls · GitHub
elixir-ls.zip is the same as elixir-ls-1.11-22.3.zip
And maybe have the checksums back in the release notes, if that’s not too much…
webuhu
That’s nothing I can answer.

Scoop is fixed now. @wingyplus fixed it by switching to builds published on repo.hex.pm
josevalim
Yes, please report upstream and suggest the repo.hex.pm URLs.
