Easy Way to update Prebuilt binary in Path? #138

Open Pentaphon opened 2 years ago

Pentaphon commented 2 years ago

Something along the lines of how yt-dlp updates itself with the "yt-dlp -U" command would be a great way to keep this application updated on any distro.

If something like that is possible, please make it happen.

Thanks for your suggestion!

Sadly, I currently don´t have (enough) time to allocate to this, due to other activities. I therefore don´t plan to implement this anytime soon. The current recommendation is to install this through a package manager (apt, brew, ...) which should be kept up-to-date.

I don´t expect there to be any breaking changes though, meaning the current ffsend version should keep working as long as the service is online.

I'd love to use a package manager but there's no ffsend in the Ubuntu repos so I am forced to use the prebuilt binaries, which have to be updated manually. Should I open up another issue to get ffsend in the Ubuntu repos?
