Changes

• Improve installer script:
  • Replace implicit extraction with Expand-7zipArchive for better control.
• Improve checkver script:
  • Improve the scraper to use Invoke-WebRequest with -ErrorAction Stop for better error handling.
  • Update regex to Opera_GX_([\d.]+)_Setup for more precise version capturing from the filename.
  • Refine the iteration logic to target the Windows-specific setup path more accurately.

Testing

The test results are as follows:

Walkthrough

Updated the Opera GX package manifest to refactor installer logic and download URLs. Changes include removing archive fragment identifiers from setup URLs, rewriting version discovery regex and iteration logic, restructuring file organization paths, and modifying JSON output generation with updated encoding specifications.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Opera GX Manifest Updates bucket/opera-gx.json	Revised 64-bit and 32-bit download URLs to use direct .exe setup files instead of .7z archives. Rewrote checkver logic to fetch releases page and parse installer names via regex iteration. Enhanced installer script to expand archives, remove list items, reorganize files under versioned paths, and generate JSON config with deeper structure and ASCII encoding.

File: bucket/compactgui.json:20-22
Timestamp: 2025-10-19T13:58:23.389Z
Learning: In the ScoopInstaller/Extras repository, the CompactGUI manifest removed hash verification from the autoupdate block because the hash verification mechanism (scraping SHA-256 from release page HTML) is no longer available in newer CompactGUI releases. GitHub asset digests exist in beta releases but not in v3.8.0, and Scoop doesn't have built-in support for extracting from GitHub API asset digests.

File: bucket/czkawka-gui.json:25-25
Timestamp: 2025-09-05T09:41:52.653Z
Learning: For czkawka-gui manifests in Scoop Extras, the correct upstream filename pattern for Windows GUI builds in recent versions uses "gtk46" (without underscore), not "gtk_46" (with underscore). The autoupdate URL should use "windows_czkawka_gui_gtk46.zip" format. This was confirmed by a working 10.0.0 update with valid hash.

Repo: ScoopInstaller/Extras PR: 16863
File: bucket/browseros.json:15-17
Timestamp: 2025-12-21T13:49:44.001Z
Learning: In Scoop manifests, when a URL uses a fragment like `#/dl.7z`, Scoop automatically extracts the archive after download. For nested archives (like BrowserOS), the downloaded installer may contain another archive (e.g., `chrome.7z`) that requires explicit extraction via the installer script using `Expand-7zipArchive`. The installer script should reference the inner archive name, not the outer `dl.7z`.

Timestamp: 2025-10-16T15:59:21.258Z
Learning: In Scoop manifests, the `autoupdate.url` and `autoupdate.architecture.<arch>.url` fields must be valid URIs according to the JSON schema (defined with `"format": "uri"`). Variables like `$matchUrlx64` that contain only path segments must be combined with a base URL (e.g., `https://github.com/.../releases/download/`) to form a complete valid URI.

🔇 Additional comments (4)

bucket/opera-gx.json (4)

10-17: LGTM on URL changes.

Removing the #/dl.7z fragment and handling extraction explicitly in the installer script provides better control over the extraction process. Based on learnings, this is the preferred approach for more complex extraction scenarios.

---

19-32: LGTM on installer script.

The explicit Expand-7zipArchive with -Removal flag correctly handles the self-extracting archive. The file organization logic properly moves components to the version subdirectory while preserving the required files at the root level.

---

52-54: Regex only matches 64-bit installer filename.

The lookbehind pattern (?<=Setup\w+)\.exe$ requires at least one word character between "Setup" and ".exe". This matches Setup_x64.exe but will not match Setup.exe (the 32-bit installer) since there's no word character suffix.

While this works for version detection (the version is extracted the same from either filename), it's fragile if Opera ever stops providing 64-bit builds or changes the naming convention.

Consider using a more inclusive pattern:

Suggested fix

-    $installer_name = $download_page.Links | Where-Object { $_.href -match '(?<=Setup\\w+)\\.exe$' } |
+    $installer_name = $download_page.Links | Where-Object { $_.href -match 'Setup(_x64)?\\.exe$' } |

---

59-71: LGTM on autoupdate configuration.

The URL templates correctly use $version substitution and are consistent with the direct .exe format used in the architecture URLs. Hash verification via .sha256sum files is the standard approach.
