Description

Relates to:

The issue comes from:

There are lots of error logs during excavator execution. Various packages stopped updating due to checkver errors.
See: https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Extras/actions/runs/18627830520/job/53108310389

Contributors are warmly welcome to help fix one or more of these broken manifest. Please note:

  • Make sure there are no existing fix PRs.
  • Create a separate PR or a separate commit for each manifest, with a title following the naming rules.
  • Please do not attempt to close this issue in your PR.
  • For manifests that are still available but will no longer receive updates, remove their checkver fields instead of deprecating them.
  • For autoupdate filed, if we can still install a specific version via scoop install app@version (i.e., autoupdate is version-specific), removing it is also not recommended. [email protected]: Remove checkver #16392 (comment)

IMO, if we keep the autoupdate field, users can still install a specific version via scoop install app@version. Otherwise:

PS> scoop install [email protected]
WARN  Given version (0.238.0) does not match manifest (0.239.0)
WARN  Attempting to generate manifest for 'fbflipper' (0.238.0)
'fbflipper' does not have autoupdate capability

P.S. If ScoopInstaller/Scoop#6370 gets merged, this will no longer be necessary and can be removed later.
