☑️ Resolves
Currently, distribution (installer) file names are different from different packaging tools.
This PR unifies it in a format:
Where platform is renamed to a user-friendly name:
darwin
=>macos
win32
=>windows
While it is cool to have a version in the file name, it makes it hard to have a constant link to the installer. The version is removed.
Examples:
Nextcloud.Talk-macos-universal.dmg
Nextcloud.Talk-windows-x64.exe
Nextcloud.Talk-windows-x64.msi
Nextcloud.Talk-linux-x64.flatpak
Nextcloud.Talk-linux-x64.zip
Implementation notes
All packagers have different output paths, incl. folder structure, and filenames.
In most of them, there is no option to specify or override it 😒
Hotfix: manually move files to the correct location.
