Hi guys.
I've just released my first "big" project and thought some in here might find it useful.
My project is called JustUpdate, and like the title says, it makes it very easy to implement auto updating in whatever application / game you may have.
It uses each platforms native way of installing applications to perform the update.
pypi: https://pypi.org/project/JustUpdate/
Documentation: https://NicklasTegner.github.io/JustUpdate
Source: https://github.com/NicklasTegner/JustUpdate
Eh, no Linux support, of course that OS is being discriminated. 
, seriously speaking: good job, but Linux support would be fgood for the apps which are not in the repos
Wow. Okay this is damn cool.
I can't wait to mess with this. Great job.
Hi.
@2 and @4, thanks. Let me know if you find anything that isn't working as expected. All tests pass and I'm using it myself, but you'll never know.
@3 Linux support are not implemented atm, because it's different from distro to distro, how a package are packaged (or so I've been told, not that good at linux).
I'll look into adding linux support in the future, but everyone that want to implement it are welcome to open an issue and/or submit a pr.
That's good, I will try to do my best and implement the most comprechensive support I can do.
Adding Linux support will be an incredibly difficult task. Pretty much every Linux distribution has a unique package manager, so you would need to implement support for each and every package manager. If your game is not in the repos, then its as simple as just downloading the game -- but if it is, your going to have a hell of a time attempting to support them all, especially when your game has a different name from distro to distro.
I know it @Ethin, that's why I am wondering how to tackle that problem.
@9, one way to do it is to just implement a set of distributions and, if your not on a recognized distribution, go about it the manual way.
Yeah, its good. That what I thought
Hi, but this just looks like some thing for github. am i wrong?
So what exactly does this do? Is this just another auto updater or can it do other things other updaters can't?
@cmerry Well. From the documentation:
JustUpdate is an auto updater framework, that uses os-native platform utilities to perform the update.
That means that it uses something that an user of that platform would find familiar.
On windows, it uses NSIS.
on mac, it uses the default elevation prompt.
In addition, it also support release channels (alpha, beta and stable).
and what about my post? i meen what is all this built and repositry things? perhaps there is just some thing i don't understand to well. can some one please explain the technological terms to me in the context of the updater?
The way i understand it, all sounds to me to much like github
@ashleygrobler04
It uses some of the same terminology as users of GitHub are used too.
You can see what it means here.

On that page, you can also read the rest of the documentation there.
If you need more help, feel fre to ask again.
Hi nicklas, thanks for the reply. i will look in to it when i have the time.
sorry to revive this. But is this project still being worked on? i would hate to see this project going away
The documentation link errors out. Could this be fixed?
@1. This is cool. However, the documentation link gives me a site not found error.
@22. Thanks!
