[RAPPS-DB] Convert .zip to generated installers #291
Conversation

I skimmed through your proposed changes, I haven't found any weird things per se (except the apparent redundant Section.amd64 for one entry).
I guess that if one wants to accurately double-check your proposal, one would have to systematically install each individual zip-provided app to verify that the generated installer will correctly delete all the created (incl. extra temporary) files.

Side-question: does the parser allows for specifying values within quotes (like: DelRegEmpty = "HKCU\Software\Petr Lastovicka") yet doing the correct thing?

No, | is the separator, it does not care about spaces. Quotes are problematic because some .ini parsers will remove them (not sure if Rapps does).

Rapps uses the standard windows ini parser, which understands the external quotes.

Different "hash" in the URL, but the resulting file's SHA1 and size (below) are the same?

Yes, the old link was dead.

It seems to be a weird old clumsy software/abandonware, and majorgeeks it's not an official source, neither the softpedia, neither the one I upload here. It's hard to find the original source. I will try to find that one.

The "official" home page seems to be http://web.archive.org/web/20020927194938/http://hccweb1.bai.ne.jp/~hcj58401/ but the download there is much older. I'll go with the download you found.
I pretty much tried every installer in this PR. I started the program and then tried to configure its settings dialog if it has one. I did not use the programs a lot more beyond that so I cannot guarantee that some other action does not create other files that need to be deleted. |
