I've used chocolately for both new installs and updates in the past though, but wasn't impressed. IME, packages are frequently broken in part or fully, they are not regularly updated, or they are completely abandoned.
- cm2187 6y agoI am not questioning your experience but for the packages that I used (I just counted 63 on my desktop), I haven't noticed any of these problems. The only grief I have is that I have a bunch of VMs (<10), and if I set them to all update all their packages simultaneously, I get rate limited by chocolatey and need to wait a while for my IP to be unbanned. But for a free service, I can't really complain.
- beart 6y agoscoop does a git pull to update the index.nthe Giles themselves all have various third party sources. rate limiting had never been an issue for me. Most scoop packages use regex matching on urls or page content to auto detect new versions. I think the maintainers regularly update the index based on these values, with a very active contributor community handling edge cases.
