scoop manifest for windows users

[hgkamath]

• Hi, just a user here
• Firstly, A thankyou to the developers for their contributions to the lem open-source common-lisp editor
• I Just noticed that a windows build is now available since the Nightly Build - 20260124-0747
• Please do consider submitting a scoop "app manfest file" to make it even easier for windows users to install the lem-editor as a portable-scoop-app
• scoop [1] is a package manager for windows that allows even unprivileged users in a simple-CLI portable way to automate the version checking, downloading, installing and subsequent periodic updating.
• It could go into the scoop extras bucket perhaps.
• See [2][3] for info and examples on manifest files
• perhaps also to winget and chocolatey tools also
• Being listed in these tools, reduces much of the figuring out of how to download and where to install decisions, while maintaining portability, conserving space on C:, which makes it easier for many windows users to automatically fetch and install, thereby lowering barriers to adoption.

There are no windows or any other executables distributed - https://github.com/lem-project/lem/releases/tag/v2.3.0

Until there is windows exe release (not autobuild) - its pointless to talk about scoop and winget integrations.

You are right that without windows exe project is not relevant for users.

• At the time of filing, windows binary #1900 looked like regular builds were imminent. ... still hopeful
• AoTW, the windows binary is still built for every nightly https://github.com/lem-project/lem/releases/tag/nightly-latest
• If the software developer wishes, there is a scoop bucket called versions https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Versions for the purpose of non-release versions such as nightly. A manifest for lem-nightly would then pull and update the latest nightly.
