Aptivi Choco Pack is now Aptivi Packaging

When we started making packages for our applications, we resorted to making Chocolatey packaging for our applications, such as Nitrocid and BassBoom. This was made in an effort to make installation of our applications easier and simpler, complete with documentation.

We have earlier introduced WinGet packaging for our applications, such as Nitrocid and BassBoom earlier this year to provide an easy way to install them, knowing that WinGet is shipped with Windows 11 as a built-in system component.

Now, we are very excited to announce that the Choco Pack organization on GItHub has been renamed to Aptivi Packaging!

This was done to better reflect its purpose as a repository for our packaging efforts for our applications, with more to come. Right now, you can access this organization to view two repositories: WinGet and Chocolatey metadata packages.

Automatische Programmverteilung auf #Windows - Hosts mit chocolatey, ssh und bash hat erstaunlicherweise doch nativ funkioniert.

Noch etwas technisch geschrieben, aber die Idee könnte auch für Schulnetzwerke interessant sein.

The latest release of the #Chocolatey Test Environment as a VirtualBox #Vagrant box made me wonder how to use it in #VMware Workstation. This terrible guide that you should not use. Unless you need to. It works. But don't do it.

IT-Teams aufgepasst!
Mit #NinjaOne & #Chocolatey wird Softwareverteilung endlich flexibel:

Große Pakete? Kein Problem.

Eigene Repos mit BaGet? Easy.

Volle Kontrolle per PowerShell.

So automatisierst du Software-Rollouts auf Windows-Systemen effizient & smart:

Maybe some day in the future #chocolatey will respect #userland installations. For #security reasons, none of my clients allow installation of any program with administrative privilege.

🍫 Did you know that we have a repository of #Chocolatey Recipes?

Not those kinds of recipes, unfortunately. Recipes you can use to create Chocolatey packages!

Help the Chocolatey #community and #organizations with their #softwareautomation by adding your recipes!

Steel Bank Common Lisp (#SBCL) version 2.4.2 for #MSWindows can now be installed via the #Chocolatey package manager.

A few fixes were needed to #zimk (my very own #GNU #make framework) to make everything work perfectly again in #Windows #CMD.

Testing these now, here's building #dos2ansi on Windows with just 'make' and 'mingw' installed from #chocolatey 😎

(building worked before as well, but there were lots of glitches and issues like e.g. partially broken "clean" rules)

Time to verify all my additions to my #GNUmake framework #zimk didn't break compatibility with #Windows #CMD -- they didn't 😎

So, you can still build #dos2ansi yourself on Windows with the minimal set of tooling installed, e.g. using #chocolatey, 'choco install mingw' and 'choco install make' is enough ☑️

The garbled output seen in the screenshot is a consequence of Windows #Console output being strictly unbuffered, which allows these things to happen with make jobs ... I see no way to work around this .... 🙄

I cpuld use some help about #PackageManagers for #windows

I could use #KeePassXC and other stuff

Should I install #Chocolatey ?

I could use some help with that too

Package managers as verbs.

“Just #winget it.” Works well.
“Just #scoop it.” Great.
“Just chocoloco… chocalaca… choco lately?” I can’t even pronounce it.
“Just apt-get it.” The apt part is a little harsh, but overall not bad.
“Just #pacman it.” Meh.
“Just #flatpak it.” Pretty good.
“Just #homebrew it.” Maybe confusing, but sounds nice.
“Just #adb it.” Nuh.

Our Chocolately packages are up to date again!

If you use the Chocolately package manager for Windows you may have noticed the official packages have been a few versions behind.

This has now been solved and the latest versions are available once again.

You can read more about what we had to do and why on the latest Pulsar Blog post.

Ok, so it appears #github changed something a couple months back that broke several packages in my #chocolatey au repo (auto-updates packages by watching for releases).

Fortunately it was an easy fix. I also added some missing #milkman plugins (like postman, but #foss ) and found out the #gobuffalo cli was moved to a different repo. So that's also updating properly again.

#biome is not currently releasing for #Windows.
Hopefully the impact was minimal for anyone consuming those packages.

@zrail 💙 at it's core coder/coder creates things, turns them on and turns them off. Anything that can be terraformed can be managed.

Like right now I (@ghuntley) am working on a M1 mac but am doing some work on #windows to add #winget and #chocolatey support. After this done will be adding support for #freebsd to coder/coder.
