Publication extension to Open VSX Registry

[mgerasimchuk]

Hi @buenon,

I would be happy to use your great extension in the popular VSCode IDE fork named ⭐ 69K code-server

By default the code-server only returns results from Open VSX. Microsoft Terms of Service does not allow programs other than those made by Microsoft to use the VSCode Marketplace. microsoft/vscode#31168 (comment)

According to the answer from code-server's maintainers, you need to publish your extension on https://open-vsx.org, by following this instruction - https://github.com/eclipse/openvsx/wiki/Publishing-Extensions and after this a lot of users of the code-server VSCode IDE will be able to use your extension

Thank you for your solution, and thank you in advance if you will publish it on OVSX

Hi, as a user of VSCodium I was about to request the same.

Of the many extensions I use, scratchpads is the only one not in OpenVSX and still I go through the trouble of installing it manually because I find it super-useful 😄 .

Note that it is possible to request OpenVSX to automatically mirror a package from the Microsoft Marketplace (this does not require any changes on this repo or any action on your side).

@buenon, would consider requesting the auto-mirroring?

...or, alternatively, would you have any objection to me requesting the auto-mirroring myself?

Hi guys,
Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
I'll look into it and update shortly.

@mgerasimchuk @cpascual I published the extension on OpenVSX.
https://open-vsx.org/extension/buenon/scratchpads

In the process of claiming my namespace.
Let me know if there are any issues.

Thanks again!

@buenon thank you so much, I tested it right now on code-server, and it all works perfectly!

Yes, thanks @buenon for your quick response! I confirm it is readily available from VSCodium now. Thanks a lot!
