This folder holds release assets, install scripts, and packaging templates.
install.sh/install.ps1: end-user installers (download + PATH setup).INSTALL.md: bundled in release artifacts as offline install notes.templates/: boilerplate for Homebrew, Scoop, and Winget.config.toml: naming + repo metadata used by release helpers.
- Canonical cross-registry package name:
molt-python - Cargo crate path in this repo:
runtime/molt-python - Cargo release version must start at
0.0.1;0.0.001is invalid SemVer for Cargo packaging/config.toml[ecosystem_names]is the source of truth for the cross-registry target names we want to reserve/publish
- Tag the release
v0.0.001(increment the thousandths place). - GitHub Actions builds artifacts for macOS/Linux/Windows and publishes a release.
- Update external package repos (Homebrew/Scoop/Winget) using the templates.
- The Molt toolchain itself may depend on local Python/Rust toolchains to build software,
but binaries produced by
molt buildare expected to be standalone artifacts that run without a host Python installation. - Shipped artifacts must not rely on hidden host-CPython fallback or a production bridge lane.
- Release packaging should minimize SmartScreen/Gatekeeper/quarantine friction through predictable artifact names, signatures/notarization where supported, and explicit checksums.
This repo only contains templates. You will need to push updates to:
- Homebrew tap:
adpena/homebrew-molt - Scoop bucket:
adpena/scoop-molt - Winget: submit manifest PRs via winget-pkgs
Use tools/release/ helpers to generate updated manifests from the release
manifest (checksums + URLs).
After a release, download release_manifest.json and run:
python3 tools/release/update_manifests.py release_manifest.jsonRendered files land in packaging/out/ for copy/paste into external repos.
