Repository for Bottles components

With a centralized repository we can provide some data such as the checksum, which is useful for validate downloads.

To propose new components, it is necessary to open a Pull Request with the manifest of the component we want to add, here are some examples of manifest:

• dxvk-1.9
• vkd3d-v2.4
• Proton-5.21-GE-1
• vaniglia-6.12

Each poster must follow the following layout:

Name: vaniglia-6.12
Provider: bottles
Channel: stable
File:
- file_name: vaniglia-6.12-x86_64.tar.gz
  url: https://github.com/bottlesdevs/wine/releases/download/6.11/vaniglia-6.12-x86_64.tar.gz
  file_checksum: da48f5bd2953a0ce8b5972008df8fafc
  rename: vaniglia-6.12-x86_64.tar.gz

old json manifests can be converted using this online tool.

where:

• Name is a name without spaces, including version, of the component (must reflect the name of the manifest file)
• Provider is the name of the component supplier (not the maintainer)
• Channel should be stable or unstable
• File is where it is stated how to get the component archive
  • file_name is the full name of the component archive
  • url is the direct URL to the archive download (ornly tarball are supported)
  • file_checksum is the MD5 checksum of the archive
  • rename this field must be the same as the name of the component (plus the extension), it is needed if the archive has a name but acquires another when it is extracted

We provide an automatic tools for generating the manifest. This should be intended as a beta software, please double check the manfiest before open a pull request.

The sources of the components must be public and searchable and must not infringe any copyright. Also, each archive must contain the compiled version and not the source code.

There is also a testing repository to test components before publishing them to the main repository. To do so you need to add the new component to the testing.yml file (opening a Pull request) and run bottles with the environment variable TESTING_REPOS=1 to use the testing repository.

We offer several runners in Bottles:

• vaniglia (our runner, available by default in Bottles v3)
• lutris
• lutris-ge
• proton-ge
