Publishing on Open VSX registry for VSCodium users

[nicolas-brousse]

Do you plan to publish your extension to Open VSX registry?

VSCodium users are not using same registry as VSCode users.

I don't know enough knowledge about it. Is it easy?

[nicolas-brousse]

I never did it already. I just ask once for someone else VSCode extension (https://github.com/benspaulding/vscode-procfile/issues/2).

They talk about a GitHub action too: https://github.com/HaaLeo/publish-vscode-extension#readme.

I can't tell more sorry 😔

Please reopen if there are "Open VSX registry" users who want to use this extension.

gitpod.com also needs the extension in the Open VSX registry:

In that case, please reach out to the extension author and politely ask them to publish their extension to the vendor-neutral, open source Open VSX registry

https://www.gitpod.io/docs/ides-and-editors/vscode-extensions#where-do-i-find-extensions

They further link to this documentation about how to publish to Open VSX:

+1 for publishing on Open VSX — I teach hundreds of students per year using Gitpod, and they would greatly benefit from the improved debugging experience. Thank you!

I also would like have this in my code-server https://github.com/coder/code-server/blob/main/docs/FAQ.md#how-can-i-request-an-extension-thats-missing-from-the-marketplace

All right. So I need to google to publish it...

Are you using it?

Yes! Both at work and in some school projects where I have the opportunity to use ruby. Is better than both pry-remote and plain rdbg and I enjoy debugging ruby code with it a lot. Some linux distribution's repositories don't distribute microsoft's visual studio code (most notably, arch linux), and this extension is the the most notorious of the must-haves in a ruby development environment that's not published in the open vsx registry.

Thank you. I'll check it.

+1 Seems you have a solution ready, please implement. Thank you

Many open-source projects [like CircuitVerse] added Gitpod to provide easy development flow for contributors, vscode-rdbg is excellent. As this is not available in Open-VSX, we can't use this extension for debugging in Gitpod or other open source VSCode alternatives.
