Documentation for updateself 2.1.0. Versioned source.

Roadmap

Current release work

Cross-platform runtime, documented Git install/uninstall, both command names, tests, CI, native package builds, checksums and draft GitHub Release artifacts. No distribution submission or repository hosting in this phase.

Future distribution work

  • Debian/Ubuntu submission or signed APT repository.
  • Fedora/RHEL/openSUSE submission or signed RPM repository.
  • Arch/AUR, Alpine, Void, Gentoo and Slackware distribution integration.
  • Homebrew/MacPorts submissions, Nixpkgs and binary-cache integration.
  • FreeBSD Ports, OpenBSD ports and NetBSD pkgsrc submissions.
  • Persistent package signing, macOS Developer ID signing/notarization.
  • Optional package-name aliases only where repository policy permits.

Future runtime work

  • Immutable/transactional/bootc systems with dedicated update backends.
  • Explicit policy/configuration for additional standalone system-wide binaries.
  • Conda/mamba, interpreter managers and additional package ecosystems.
  • Configuration-aware runtime channels/version constraints.
  • Better structured changed/current status where upstream output is machine-readable.
  • Additional BSD variants and live update test environments.

Repository renaming and automatic scheduling are separate future decisions.
