List in Package Systems

[ZacharyDuBois]

It would be awesome to have this listed in Homebrew, MacPorts, Deb/Ubuntu, etc repositories. This is really an awesome piece of software :) I'd contribute if I knew Go :(

Excellent idea!

I could really do with help with this though, so if you (or anyone you know) can package stuff then I'd love a contribution!

Below is the list of instructions, as a starting point.

• chocolatey(Windows)
  • CreatePackages · chocolatey/choco Wiki
• Homebrew(Mac)
  • How to Distribute Binaries for OS X Using Homebrew
• Deb/Ubuntu
  • Debian/dh-make-golang: Automatically creates Debian packaging for Go packages

I've tried making a chocolatey package for rclone, and it seems to work. You can try it with the steps below if you have chocolatey installed:

git clone https://github.com/harupong/chocolatey-rclone
cd chocolatey-rclone
cpack
choco install rclone -fdv -s "%cd%"

@harupong very cool thank you! Would you like to maintain the chocolaty package for rclone on a permanent basis? Thanks Nick

@ncw My pleasure :) I went ahead and uploaded the package to https://chocolatey.org/packages/rclone. If there is anything to be added, just let me know.

And, on the Linux side, you might wanna check out https://packager.io/. They do packaging and hosting for Linux for free if it's open source projects.

rclone is now in just about every package manager! See https://rclone.org/install for a list.
