Me maintaining this bucket has become a bit eeehh... It leaves much to be desired. It's better than the bucket you currently have, but an official nirsoft bucket really ought to have better active maintenance than this one. I'm open to transferring this bucket to anyone willing and able to do better than me.
We can transfer it to the ScoopInstaller organization, if that's ok. But let's wait a few days as we have yet to hear back from @kodibrown.

@rasa - thanks for taking it on - any word on adopting this bucket in the scoop org?
@MCOfficer We haven't heard back from @kodybrown and it's been three weeks. If you are still interested in moving this repo to @ScoopInstaller org, please transfer it to me, and I will transfer to our org, as you can't directly transfer it to the org per here. Thanks!
It's all yours from here. Thank you for keeping Scoop awesome!

Thanks so much for your generosity and support all these years!
Any tips for the org on how best to update and maintain (or run via CI)?
Am I right in thinking that if Nirsoft published the hashes in the PAD file it would greatly simplify the work needed to maintain?

The python script is for occasionally synchronizing things with the pad file, not for everyday updates (and it needs a pip install requests
). The CI currently consists of a random docker container running on my server, the way scoop did it 3 years ago; i believe there's a a much better system with Github Actions floating around nowadays.

Hashes and whether there are 64-bit download URLs. As of now, the python script just does a best guess at their filename and checks if that exists.

Thank again to you both. It looks like @rasa has already made a lot of progress on migrating the bucket over and getting it updated/working.
I've put my enhancement request to use Nirsoft-provided hashes and download links (eg https://www.nirsoft.net/hash_check/?software=shexview) here: https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Nirsoft/issues/15 in the hopes it could ease the maintenance burden a bit.
I've just noticed that this repo is becoming an official repo. Many thanks to MCOfficer for all the time and effort for maintaining this repo!
Anything the community needs to do to help this happen? I've added it to a couple installs and haven't had any issues.
@MCOfficer Per https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Scoop/discussions/5293 let us know your thoughts on allowing this bucket to be made official.
Thanks, Ross
