Re: [Zero-install-devel] manifest mismatch between windows/linux

[Bastian E. <ba...@ei...>]

Zero Install for Windows 2.6.8 now generates the same digest for
Argyll_V1.6.3_win64_exe.zip as the Linux version does, whereas before it did
not. It's quite unfortunate that such a high-profile application as
dispcalGui is affected by this switchover.

It is possible to create a feed that will work with both old and new Zero
Install for Windows versions, using the if-0install-version attribute:
- Keep the old implementations in the feed and annotate them with
if-0install-version="..!2.6.8"
- Duplicate the implementations but remove the generated digests and IDs,
annotate these duplicates with if-0install-version="2.6.8.." and use
"0publish --add-missing" (from Zero Install Publishing Tools 2.6.8) to
calculate new digests.
You can see an example of this solution applied here:
http://0install.de/feeds/make.xml

I am sorry this is causing you trouble. I hope that in the long run the
benefits of this fix for compatibility between the Windows and Linux
versions of Zero Install will outweigh the initial costs.

It seems the latest 0install for Windows update broke the hash for some
existing implementations, namely
