Add json metadata for the ISO and distro list #554

Closed sharpenedblade closed 3 months ago

sharpenedblade commented 3 months ago

This is for a gui installer I am writing, I wanted a parsable list of ISOs and distros. It has every ISO from the preinstall guide except for gentoo and blendos. This needs to be updated whenever you release a new ISO.

iso_compression should be zip if the ISO file is the only file inside of a zip archive. If the ISO is not compressed then the iso_compression field should not appear (it should not be null or empty).

{
  "all": [
    {
      "name": "user visible disto name",
      "iso": ["url to iso download", "appended in order to the first file"],
      "iso_compression": "zip",
    }
  ]
}

I'd prefer keeping Ubuntu, Kubuntu and linux mint together, in this order.

I didnt put them in any sort of real order, I can move the other ones around too.

Can you verfiy https://github.com/t2linux/wiki/pull/554/commits/45857a3c6e9420319acf742ea66898337b0d91de (for symbols not allowed, other improvements etc)

It looks good. Anything that's valid utf-8 is allowed inside of the name field, so you can even use emojis and stuff.
