Creating delta packages (nuget) #120

Closed mzmousa closed 8 years ago

mzmousa commented 8 years ago

When we set remoteReleases to the URL of our existing updates, how do we generate those updates? I am currently using this module to create my installers and getting a full nuget package, but not sure of how to make a delta nuget package.

If you set remoteReleases to the url of the previous RELEASES file, you should get 3 new files (*-full.nupkg, *-delta.nupkg, and updated RELEASES file).

Upload those files to a static file server online and point the autoUpdater to the "folder" containing the files.

Does this mean I have to run my installer every time I want new full, Delta, and releases files?

kevinmartin commented 8 years ago

If by installer, you mean grunt-electron-installer then yes. If you mean the generated AppNameSetup.exe, no.

There are samples apps out there that you can look through and see how they do this stuff.

At first, delta packages wouldn't be be created if the version number was the same. Now they are produced when there is a different version number in my package.json. Thank you!

@KevinMartin would you know anything about this similar issue?
