Hello,
I have a program written in D which is open-source on GitHub.
I would appreciate it if, when I release a new version, users
would be notified by the program and that it offers an
automatic update, i.e. the user doesn't have to reinstall the
whole repository himself, but that it is updated automatically.
I haven't found any packages that directly meet my needs, but
in the meantime I imagine that I will have to use the GitHub
API, as well as Curl to make such a system.
Do you have any resources or suggestions as to how I could
implement this? Thank you!
This sounds like you and your users want to use dependabot. It is
free service of github.
Unfortunately someone needs to add support for Dub (ruby coding).
Maybe also a good candidate for GSOC21.
Kind regards
Andre
