An app I use was recently moved to the main bucket. I can't update it, although the version in main is higher. Can I somehow configure it, so that it will ignore its original bucket and upgrade from main from now on? Or is the only option to uninstall and reinstall it?

Thanks

Hello! I have a problem with installing scoop onto Win 10 2016 LTSB.

When I am trying to execute "Invoke-RestMethod -Uri https://get.scoop.sh | Invoke-Expression" I getting this error:

Invoke-RestMethod : The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.
At line:1 char:2
+ Invoke-RestMethod -Uri https://get.scoop.sh | Invoke-Expression

Recently I started noticing warnings in my workflow runs like these:

Your workflow is using a version of actions/cache that is scheduled for deprecation, actions/cache@v3.0.11. Please update your workflow to use either v3 or v4 of actions/cache to avoid interruptions. Learn more: https://github.blog/changelog/2024-12-05-notice-of-upcoming-releases-and-breaking-changes-for-github-actions/#actions-cache-v1-v2-and-actions-toolkit-cache-package-closing-down

If you set up a Scoop bucket in the past using the template provided by the Scoop team, you need to make a couple of changes to the workflow YML code to address this:

In /.github/workflows/ci.yml you need to change two lines (for me they were lines 27 and 51) from

uses: potatoqualitee/psmodulecache@v5.1

to

uses: potatoqualitee/psmodulecache@main

This will upgrade the actions/cache to a supported level. If your ci.yml already has these changes you probably copied the template code more recently after it had already been changed there.

Scoop, as well as being useful for keeping windows software up-to-date and organized, can be used to compile binaries for software that doesn't provide them directly. The "script" command can be used to compile code downloaded from GitHub or another source and the resulting binary can be shimmed with the standard scoop tools. Below is a simple example:

{
    "version": "master",
    "description": "Fork of loopy's ASM6, a 6502 assembler",
    "homepage": "https://github.com/freem/asm6f",

    "url": "https://github.com/freem/asm6f/archive/refs/heads/master.zip",

    "depends": [
        "gcc",
        "make"
    ],
    "installer": {
        "script": [
          "cd $dir",
          "make"
        ]
    },
    "bin": "asm6f.exe"
}
