One-liner to install release package on Debian 12 #635

I have been hanging out for this to hit general release. Thanks for your efforts. I noticed the release isn't in the Cockpit 'Applications' (appstream) list yet, nor on most distribution repos until it can be backported.

I wanted to share a quick install script (without all the Make/developer dependencies).

wget https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit-files/releases/latest/download/cockpit-files-2.tar.xz && \
  tar -xf cockpit-files-2.tar.xz cockpit-files/dist && \
  mv cockpit-files/dist /usr/share/cockpit/files && \
  rm -r cockpit-files && \
  rm cockpit-files-2.tar.xz

Note: the '-2' I expect might be best removed in future releases

This works for me on Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) where rest of cockpit-project was installed via standard apt install ...

If you're able to add this to the README.md I'm sure others will find it useful. Thanks again

Thanks for the issue, in general we don't want to recommend putting files into package manager owned directories such as /usr/share/cockpit. We do recommend using make devel-install as this installs to ~/.local/share/cockpit so easily reverted by a normal user.

For more detail see https://cockpit-project.org/guide/latest/packages.html#package-layout

Also, please don't run wget as root. You can trim this a bit to use pipes, like curl https://... | sudo tar ... and please install into /usr/local/share/cockpit to avoid conflicts with the package manager.

I just sent https://bugs.debian.org/1076001 to start the inclusion of cockpit-files into Debian. Thanks for the nudge :wink:

so this would be the reason i can't use apt install cockpit-files on ubuntu 24 too?

Just for the record, it's been sitting in the NEW queue for a week.
