Contributing

Thank you for helping maintain the TunaOS Scoop bucket.

Contribution scope​

This bucket publishes Scoop manifests for command-line tools maintained by the tuna-os organization. Add each manifest as a JSON file under bucket/, named after the Scoop package.

Manifests generated by a tool's release automation should be changed in that tool's upstream release configuration. Avoid hand-editing generated manifests here, because the next release may overwrite those changes.

Manifest expectations​

Each manifest must include non-empty version, description, homepage, and license fields, plus at least one installation entry (bin, shortcuts, or installer). Downloads must use HTTPS URLs and include hashes. When a manifest uses architecture-specific downloads, every architecture entry must provide its own URL and hash.

Follow the upstream tool's supported Windows architectures and use release artifacts from its official TunaOS repository. Do not add manifests for third-party projects or unpublished artifacts.

Validate locally​

Run both checks from the repository root:

python3 tests/validate_manifests.py
python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -v

The first command validates every JSON file in bucket/; the second tests the validator itself. Both commands use the Python standard library and require no additional packages.

Pull requests​

Keep each pull request focused on one package or one documentation concern. In the description, identify the upstream release and artifact used, summarize the local validation results, and explain any manual manifest changes. If a release pipeline should publish the manifest, link the corresponding upstream configuration change or issue.
