dei79/netsparkle

NetSparkle is an easy-to-use software update framework for .NET developers on Windows, MAC or Linux. It was inspired by the Sparkle (http://bit.ly/HWyJd) project for Cocoa developers and the WinSparkle (http://bit.ly/cj5kP5) project (a Win32 port).

Hi there 👋

I'm an experienced CTO focused on Workspace Management and Cloud Transformation; my passion is to enable tech teams to leverage disruptive technologies to build simple-to-use products.

I'm excited to work on innovations and products, bringing technology's customer value to the surface and making them more valuable. Recurrent re-iterating all phases of a product lifecycle - Strategy, Design, and Execution - is an enjoyable part of this journey.

Within Matrix42, we help organizations digitize the workspace environment of their employees. I'm proud to be part of the team building the software for a digital workspace experience that manages devices, applications, processes, and services that are simple, secure, and compliant.

I love acting as Public Speaker in that industry to let as many as possible participate in changing IT works!

Should a CTO write code? At least, I do so enjoy my personal preferences:

How do you use this with Macs?

I'm working on a .NET mac app and I dont' see a wiki or anything about how to handle updates.

generate_appcast

Sparkle offers the commandline tool generate_appcast to generate the appcast.xml.
Are there any plans to add a similar tool to netsparkle?

If there is any pointer to get around this.

[News] NetSparkle has moved to NetSparkleUpdater!

EDIT: Update -- The latest NetSparkle code is available at https://github.com/NetSparkleUpdater/NetSparkle. Please join us!

Hey dei79,

I see that you've recently brought the NetSparkle code from CodePlex here to Github! 😀 I'm not sure if you're aware that the CodePlex project was forked a long time ago to this repo by jimgraham. He didn't keep updating it, so someone forked that repo, which was then forked again, etc. until, most recently, I have been maintaining and updating the code at my fork, which is located here. I've been using NetSparkle for a work project and have been updating it with new features and such. I am not responsible for all of the new features that are available, as several are from one or another fork of the code. Myself and another of my coworkers have been working on more updates this week, so the develop branch is more up-to-date. (We're still working on updating documentation. That's WIP as I type.)

I'd hate to see multiple "latest" NetSparkle forks floating around. It'd be great to have one central NetSparkle repo, and whether that's my repo or yours or a new repo under a NetSparkle GitHub organization is inconsequential to me. Would you like to coordinate with me on having a new central repo? We could use my repo or have a new organization or similar (giant merge into this repo?). If we use my repo, I can email GitHub support to remove the "forked from" portion of the page, and then we can redirect from here to there or similar. I'm more than willing to give you access to my repo if that's what you'd like to do. I would have emailed you, but I didn't see contact info on your GitHub profile.

Please let me know! Make sure to highlight me @Deadpikle so that I am emailed when you reply.

Thanks!
