Versions for some distributions are missing

[vasti]

It looks like entries in versions file is missing for some of the supported distributions, at least in the latest at the moment: https://github.com/devops-works/binenv/blob/508cdc86648713394b0f369127224557ac1949c9/distributions/cache.json

binenv itself is not there and if one follows the quick install instructions there are errors:

user@nix:~/tmp/binenv$ ./binenv install binenv
2021-10-16T22:25:24+03:00 WRN version for "binenv" not specified; using ""
2021-10-16T22:25:24+03:00 ERR unable to install "binenv" () error="unable to select latest stable version for \"binenv\": no stable version available. May be run 'binenv update binenv' ?"

The 'full' install instructions instructs to specify a version of binenv to install, i.e.

./binenv install binenv <version>

This way installation works.

Is this expected behavior? It is somewhat inconvenient compared to running binenv versions.

Thanks for reporting this @vasti I think this issue has been solved yesterday (see #156 #157 #159 #162) Could you try again please ? Staring from ./binenv update should be enough.

Checked on clean server. Worked

It seems to be fixed for some of supported utilities (e.g. asciigraph).

As for binenv cache file seems to be either missing it or not: 508cdc8 seems to have removed it. 49ddfb8 added it back 13b0353 removed it again.

I think @patsevanton was lucky and tried when bits in cache file were there.

And it seems there are no rate limits if binenv update -f -v -c2 is running under github's actions.

[leucos]

Agreed for the rate limit. However I can not explain why I can build the cache locally without any issues.

I removed the action and pushed a clean cache.

It has been updated; you can binenv update.

Will look into a more long term solution. I never liked this method anyway.

binenv versions binenv now shows versions (after binenv update).

@leucos thanks for the help.
