Package info URL - Githubissues

Adamcake commented 8 months ago

Can runelite please provide a way to programmatically find the latest launcher version, a permalink to the download location, and a file hash. All that information is already found here but is finnicky for a computer program to parse.

Ideally the info would come from a URL on runelite.net which you can update automatically as part of your build/release process, the contents right now would be:

{
 "version": "2.6.9",
 "sha256": "f7588106f897337b4937f8d181c3b352e4c0afd56b2a75b9e6e62b356ede0794",
 "url": "https://github.com/runelite/launcher/releases/download/2.6.9/RuneLite.jar"
}

It doesn't necessarily have to be JSON but that's usually the go-to for this type of thing.

The purpose of this would be for direct integration into package managers and game launchers. For example, flatpak's net.runelite.Runelite, which is currently four months out of date, could be kept up-to-date automatically using flatpak-external-data-checker.

https://api.github.com/repos/runelite/launcher/releases/latest

The most recent couple releases have had little to no changes that affect the jar launcher that the flatpak uses, so they don't need to be updated

Oh this will do perfectly. Thanks
