syncany-cli: Switch to GitHub releases by olahouze · Pull Request #8629 · ScoopInstaller/Main

olahouze · 2026-10-04T17:36:50Z

📋 Problème Traité

The original domains 'syncany.org' and 'get.syncany.org' are no longer active, causing Scoop checkver to fail with 'Le nom distant n'a pas pu être résolu' and fresh package installations to fail with HTTP 404.

💡 Solution Apportée

Migrate homepage, download URL, checkver, and autoupdate to the official GitHub repository 'https://github.com/syncany/syncany' releases. The official binary hash (6ee34b47...) remains identical.

Summary by CodeRabbit

Updates
- Syncany CLI downloads and update checks now use releases from the official GitHub repository, including the latest matching alpha release.

Walkthrough

The Syncany CLI manifest now uses the GitHub repository for its homepage and release assets. It checks the latest GitHub release tag to determine the version.

Changes

Syncany release sources

Layer / File(s)	Summary
GitHub release metadata and assets `bucket/syncany-cli.json`	The homepage and installer URLs now point to GitHub. Version checks read the latest release’s `tag_name` and match the `v…-alpha` format.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a77ca

Version checks can fail after the unauthenticated GitHub quota is exhausted, even when an operator configured a token. This is a localized manifest fix; the installer URL’s availability remains unverified.

observed — bucket (service) was modified; 1 changed file maps to changed impact.

Before / after behavior

observed — Modified behavior in bucket/syncany-cli.json: The homepage changes from www.syncany.org to the GitHub repository. The fixed installer URL and autoupdate template move from the project website’s distribution path to GitHub release assets. Version checking switches from scraping the project’s release directory for an installer filename to reading the latest GitHub releases API entry’s tag_name and matching v<version>-alpha.

Use checkver.github for the release API URL.

With checkver.url, Scoop does not send a configured GitHub token to this API endpoint. A rate-limited check can therefore fail even when the operator has configured a token. Change the key to github; Scoop accepts this API URL and retains the explicit jsonpath and regex. (github.com)

Proposed change

- "url": "https://api.github.com/repos/syncany/syncany/releases", + "github": "https://api.github.com/repos/syncany/syncany/releases",

Based on learnings, an API-style URL is valid in checkver.github.

📝 Committable suggestion

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.
