Suggestions for more binaries :) about binenv HOT 14 CLOSED

• upt https://github.com/sigoden/upt would be very good as well, a colleague uses that for testing. and we should ask upt if you are included

the more about i think about our projects in our company, the more projects there are:

I would add openshif client (oc).

Thanks for the suggestions @Sispheor @deknos 👍 !

If you feel like so, you can get a shot at it adding those to distributions/distributions.yaml (branch-off develop).

If you don't, no worries, we'll take care of this.

i will give it a try! thanks!

fzf is almost done, if you can merge it. i will also look at the other ones. but i think i have to look into your code.
and the rate limit is really a little bothering. for example, i cannot use other git repositories other than yours, or branches from yours or others as base config for the distributions. which is a lockin. but that's for another time. your project is really cool, sorry that i do not have the time to work faster.

i am working on yq. i just found another old project i am using:

• https://github.com/adammck/terraform-inventory i will look into it.

Here are a handful more:

• https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn
• https://github.com/composer/composer
• https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/installation_guide/intro_installation.html

However we can only install binaries (that stands on their own). I am afraid none of the above can do that. Ansible definitively requires a lot of supporting libraries (we use virtualenv for this, and have a dedicated virtualenv per Ansible version).

May be composer can fit, but I am wondering what is the added value of using binenv here ? Same for yarn. I am afraid there require some proper environment settings (node version, PHP version, php.ini setup, etc...). So I am afraid that trying to manage versions of those things outside their ecosystem is prone to failure.

The goal is really to handle self-sustaining binaries. We will never do what projects like rubyenv/phpenv/goenv can do.

Well, the rate limit is not from us. Github rate limits connections for non authenticated users.

I do not really understand what you mean here.
Please open a separate issue if possible so we do not turn this issue in some kind of catch-all.

@deknos some info about your wishlist;

• pyenv: won't work; this is not a single binary
• lens: won't work (appimage, not a binary)
• github-cli: already there (see gh)
• signify: no binary releases
• https://github.com/artipie/artipie/ : no binary release
• minio: just checked how they handle release, we will have a hard time on this one :/

In a nutshell: binenv can retrieve binary releases of projects, update them, and let you use the version you wish. It is not an all-in-one package manager.

from binenv.

yeah, i thought minio and artipie will be single binaries, but those are both not single binaries :/

from binenv.

i mean, if it's for me, you can close the issue. i will follow up on the possible projects and ask them for releases (for exampel with signify)
or you can post a whislist on your documentation, where stuff like that is listed an people can post pull request. the ones which are possible and interesting for me, i will post PRs :)
