Did you see this moved, and there's a new release?

Re: Chocolatey Software | age.beta (Portable) 1.0.0-beta7

Joel "Jaykul" Bennett — Mon, 02 Oct 2023 22:52:36 -0000

Why is there no 1.1.1?

Re: Chocolatey Software | kubelogin (Azure) 0.0.20

Falling behind again there are 3 newer releases

Re: Chocolatey Gallery | Miniconda (Python 3) 3.9.1

Joel "Jaykul" Bennett — Sat, 19 Aug 2023 16:35:43 -0000

Is this abandoned? Can we get a release for 5.2?

Re: Chocolatey Gallery | powershell-core (Install) 6.0.0-alpha18

Joel "Jaykul" Bennett — Sun, 16 Jul 2023 20:36:07 -0000

With chocolatey 2.0 out, we can't use side-by-side installs anymore, so there doesn't seem to be any way to have the current (supported) release and also the preview release installed. Any thoughts on how to fix that?

Re: Chocolatey Software | Ubuntu 22.04 LTS for WSL 22.4.0.20220620

Broken

Re: Chocolatey Software | kubelogin (Azure) 0.0.20

Joel "Jaykul" Bennett — Wed, 21 Dec 2022 18:28:44 -0000

Can we get an update? This is on 0.25

Re: Chocolatey Software | lively 1.1.8.0

Joel "Jaykul" Bennett — Sat, 09 Jul 2022 14:45:27 -0000

Yeah, needs to be installing "dotnet" because that desktop package only goes to 3.1 and this requires 6.x

Re: Chocolatey Software | open-policy-agent 0.26.0

Joel "Jaykul" Bennett — Thu, 12 May 2022 18:38:41 -0000

This is super out of date

Re: Chocolatey Gallery | powershell-core (Install) 6.0.0-alpha18

Joel "Jaykul" Bennett — Sat, 23 Oct 2021 18:12:11 -0000

@DarwinJS I don't know why the 7.1.5 isn't showing up, but the 7.2.0-preview10 is getting downgraded because in SemVer 1.0 the "pre release" segment is just treated alphabetically, so "preview10" comes before "preview2" ...

In the future, when you convert SemVer2.0 style versions (i.e. with a dot in the prerelease like PowerShell's "-preview.2") to remove the dot, you need to zero-pad the number, in case you get to ten (probably don't need to worry about 100, at least with PowerShell).

In other words, it should have been 7.2.0-preview01 through -preview09 so that when you got to 10 it would show up right alphabetically.

Of course, if you release the release candidate, "r" comes after "p" so we can all just forget about -preview10 😉

Joel "Jaykul" Bennett — Sat, 23 Oct 2021 18:00:21 -0000

Oh, I see what you did wrong. Sent you a PR. I'm having weird issues with the HTTPS site though, I'm getting 302 *errors* -- you might want to double-check me ;-)

Re: Chocolatey Gallery | powershell-core (Install) 6.0.0-alpha18

Joel "Jaykul" Bennett — Sat, 23 Oct 2021 16:52:02 -0000

Hey, can you release the 7.2 release candidate? Hopefully with zero padding this time, just in case they get to 10 again 😉 -rc01

Re: Chocolatey Gallery | ArsClip 5.09

Joel "Jaykul" Bennett — Mon, 30 Aug 2021 13:34:28 -0000

Can we get a 5.33?

Re: Chocolatey Gallery | Visual Studio Code Docker Extension 1.0.0

Joel "Jaykul" Bennett — Wed, 31 Jul 2019 17:07:07 -0000

What do you think about replacing:

code --install-extension PeterJausovec.vscode-docker

With a version that will work on either (and both) code and code-insiders?

if (Get-Command code) { code --install-extension PeterJausovec.vscode-docker } if (Get-Command code-insiders) { code-insiders --install-extension PeterJausovec.vscode-docker }

Re: Chocolatey Gallery | ArsClip 5.09

Joel "Jaykul" Bennett — Wed, 31 Jul 2019 16:34:53 -0000

This is now broken, as far as I can tell. Needs a new maintainer and an update or 20

Re: Powershell and Single vs Double Quotes

Joel "Jaykul" Bennett — Mon, 17 Sep 2018 21:54:12 -0000

How would double-quotes break the command?

get-aduser -filter "name -like `"*$fullname*`""

Re: Introducing Azure DevOps

Joel "Jaykul" Bennett — Mon, 10 Sep 2018 17:36:46 -0000

Except that the video literally says "Azure DevOps has everything you need to turn an idea into a working piece of software" -- as if they've completely forgotten that you're probably going to need a team of people, too...

Re: Announcing Octopus Cloud - Octopus Deploy

Joel "Jaykul" Bennett — Mon, 02 Jul 2018 13:21:56 -0000

I feel like you guys have lost your way with this. You have a cloud offering, but it's designed purely for new customers, without import functionality... <passiveagressivevoice>I guess that makes sense, since it certainly isn't anywhere near the top of the list of things your existing
customers have been asking for.</passiveagressivevoice>

From my point of view, to be able to use a cloud hosted Octopus, we *require* the ability to create a deployment from code in source control. Whether that's a script, a yaml file, or your Octopus.Migrator json files... In fact, that is the #3 thing on your user voice! Unfortunately, it's completely dropped off the radar since [the RFC, over a year ago](https://octopus.com/blog/rf... while you've had your heads in the clouds, so to speak.

Meanwhile, Microsoft's TFS/VSTS team says they'll have YAML support for releases later this year...

Re: A PowerShell Tool Scorecard

Joel "Jaykul" Bennett — Thu, 18 Jan 2018 10:45:08 -0000

I like it. Although I'm struggling with giving out 80% of the points in the "bonus" round. I think that pointing system emphasizes the wrong things. The idea that automatically publishing to the PowerShell Gallery from CI is worth a cumulative 20 points (because it includes points for having CI and for publishing) while correct-code questions are only worth one point each doesn't make sense to me....

I think on Penalty 5, I would make it broader:

Are you ignoring the preference variables and common parameters? E.g. by setting $ErrorActionPreference to a hard-coded value inside your function.

I've run into at least as much code that incorrectly sets $ErrorActionPreference= "Stop" and ignores my -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue as the other way 'round.

In the realm of the personal preference, I would soften the aliases statement. Choosing full names over aliases is about readability and about compatibility with PowerShell Core -- where the so-called built-in aliases have been drastically trimmed. But in general, if you have or create an alias that's clearer and more readable than the full name, there's nothing wrong with using that (for example, Azure's Login-AzAccount vs. Add-AzureRmAccount or the built in "Where" vs Where-Object, or even the universally known "dir" vs Get-ChildItem), but you need to define the alias at the top of your code to make 100% sure it's clear, and will work cross-platform.

Re: Chocolatey Software | Microsoft .NET Core 3.1.13

Joel "Jaykul" Bennett — Fri, 14 Jul 2017 01:13:31 -0000

Shouldn't there be a 2.0.0-Preview2 available?

Re: RFC: Version Control of Octopus configuration with Octopus Declarative

Joel "Jaykul" Bennett — Tue, 21 Mar 2017 15:17:05 -0000

I don't really understand the combination of "declarative" and "C#" -- how is it that when you started thinking about declarative solutions, you thought of using C# classes as the way to declare them?

Wouldn't it be better to use extensible declarative frameworks like PowerShell DSC or Terraform or Chef? Or perhaps the languages administrators are used to using for static configuration, like json or XML? You already have some of the pieces of doing that using json in your octopus.migrator tool ...

Re: RFC: Version Control of Octopus configuration with Octopus Declarative

Joel "Jaykul" Bennett — Tue, 21 Mar 2017 14:39:41 -0000

Yeah, I had the same thought about a PowerShell DSC provider

Re: Powershell and Single vs Double Quotes

Joel "Jaykul" Bennett — Fri, 15 Jul 2016 15:54:20 -0000

Yeah, I think the problem is that there's not enough work. When you're timing something that takes nanoseconds, then even your timing logic takes as long as the thing you're measuring, which means that anything *else* that's going on in your computer basically randomizes the results ;-)

It's obviously not anything worth worrying about, regardless.

Re: Powershell and Single vs Double Quotes

Joel "Jaykul" Bennett — Thu, 14 Jul 2016 14:17:19 -0000

On my Windows 10 RTM box, right now, your exact test would come out like this:

single: 00:00:00.0527651
double: 00:00:00.0477172

What PowerShell version are you on?

Re: Powershell and Single vs Double Quotes

Joel "Jaykul" Bennett — Thu, 14 Jul 2016 13:23:51 -0000

Your performance test results are *the opposite* of every test I've ever run. I suggest you look at the cmdlet you're using as the cause, rather than the quotes.
