haxelib auto-update support about haxelib HOT 12 CLOSED

This is pretty important that we get this done in time for Haxe 3, so we can continue to work on it, adding improvements without requiring a new release of haxe.

from haxelib.

Simon from the Haxe foundation has said the features he sees as completely
necessary for Haxe3:

• Ability to submit, install and update packages
• To have haxelib itself as one of those packages, so it can be updated
• For the old haxelib to still work

So he's pretty keen for us to get this feature working before Haxe3, which
they're looking at an early May release date for.

What's the state auf auto-update?

from haxelib.

I haven't heard any feedback on that on the mailing list, but it's working
for me :)

Perhaps the best way to test is to push an update, and ask people to run
"haxelib selfupdate" so we can here if there are any issues. I personally
don't have Haxe dev environments set up on Windows or Mac atm so haven't
tested the self updating on either of those platforms.

There's a number of outstanding issues with the client, I'll try to address
them tomorrow and Sunday so we have an update people can test with.

Aside from this it works: https://github.com/back2dos/haxelib/issues/34

Also, with haxe now being in "Program Files", you need to launch your command prompt as Administrator. Haven't figured out yet how to bring up this (otherwise annoying) admin permissions dialogue.

Simn, is it intended to keep haxe in Program Files? Windows makes it very
annoying to write something on the Program Files folder

Do we really have to move all of haxe for that?

Haxe was never inside of Program Files because of UAC issues, AFAIK. It
will be very annoying to need to authenticate every time you install a
library, specially if you're not the PC's admin.
And plus, it brings us no real benefit.

Yes but you are talking about libraries, which is different from the haxe installation path.

So haxelib dir will be outside of Haxe dir? Hmm okay, that could work!

I've fixed #34 so this should be fixed now. However, we'll need the version included with the Haxe installation to be upgraded too, otherwise on the first update things will still break for zsh/non-bash users.

Can someone make sure that happens before Haxe3?

We will make sure to ship the latest haxelib client with Haxe 3.0, which
we will package this evening (europe time).

Best,
