Abitily to Unmatch? #59

Closed robacarp closed 4 years ago

robacarp commented 4 years ago

There are a bunch of apps and drivers floating around the hubitat forums. As I poke around trying to find if any of the apps I have installed are hpm providers, I find none. However, I'd still like to take advantage of hpm! If I create a repository, and a manifest file for each of my apps, hpm will (hopefully) happily assume control and all I have to do is tick the version when one of the apps updates.

However......what needs to happen if the author then starts providing an hpm manifest and repository?

dcmeglio commented 4 years ago

Good point. Right now you'd have to uninstall and reinstall. However, do you really think hpm provides much value if you have to maintain the manifests yourself?

robacarp commented 4 years ago

Well. It wouldn't be hard to make a small web service which creates and updates the manifest files by scanning the static files on github for updates... and I might just (have done that...)!

For my case, I think the easy solution will be to completely nuke packagemanager if the situation ever comes up. It's not a perfect solution, but it'll accomplish the goal without adding complexity to hpm.
