Pin Tidal version #9

Closed Zalastax closed 2 years ago

Zalastax commented 2 years ago

By pinning the Tidal version, it becomes possible to install older versions of Tidal via chocolatey. The drawback is that we need to publish a new version of the chocolatey package whenever we release. I want your feedback. It might not be worth the effort. If we don't do this, should we change the Chocolatey description to mention that newer version of Tidal might be installed? Or are we good as it is?

Requires https://github.com/tidalcycles/tidal-chocolatey/pull/8.

I also change to v2-install. If we don't merge this PR, should I submit another PR that does that but without pinning?

That would be fine but then we'd need someone to publish the package for each release, and I don't have ready access to windows for testing. Would you be up for that?

Because the v2- commands are full of regressions, If you install via v2-install, generally that means that later upgrades don't work.. So I'd stick with v1- for as long as we can.

Zalastax commented 2 years ago

I don't think I would personally be ready to make that commitment.

Aha, so v1-install is easier to upgrade? What do you mean with full of regression? Is it due to v2 commands being actively developed? Or some other reason which we could open a ticket for in the Cabal project?
