The Wiert Corner – irregular stream of stuff

I needed the portable version of [Wayback/Archive] CrystalDiskMark on Chocolatey (unlike the [Wayback/Archive] Chocolatey Software | CrystalDiskMark (Install) package). Luckily I found the auto-update package [Wayback/Archive] Chocolatey Software | CrystalDiskInfo (Portable) and knew both that CrystalDiskMark is from the same author as CrystalDiskInfo, and that their code is on GitHub like the Chocolatey package.

Given I had a the below chocolatey-packages/automatic/crystaldiskinfo.portable as a template, I asked the CrystalDiskInfo (Portable) package maintainer if they were willing to maintain CrystalDiskMark (portable) as well and was glad the response was “yes”: [Wayback/Archive] Portabe CrystalDiskMark similar to the current CrystalDiskInfo? · Issue #159 · mkevenaar/chocolatey-packages

So for my link-archive:

• reshack.portable fails to install because it has the SHA256 code of the old version 5.1.8 · Issue #16 · SebastianK90/chocolateyautomaticpackages (which previously taught me about update.ps1 in the root of a package directory performs the scheduled automatic software updates check so the package source can be automatically adopted to a new version of a tool)
• [Wayback/Archive] mkevenaar/chocolatey-packages: My chocolatey packages

• • [Wayback/Archive] chocolatey-packages/automatic/crystaldiskinfo.portable at master · mkevenaar/chocolatey-packages
    • [Wayback/Archive] chocolatey-packages/crystaldiskinfo.portable.nuspec at master · mkevenaar/chocolatey-packages which is the XML file defining the package. Since Chocolatey barely documents the fields, it was great having a working template that uses a lot of fields. These were the paths of the fields needing modification from crystaldiskinfo.portable.nuspec to crystaldiskmark.portable.nuspec:
      • /package/metadata/id
      • /package/metadata/version
      • /package/metadata/title
      • /package/metadata/projectUrl
      • /package/metadata/iconUrl
      • /package/metadata/tags
      • /package/metadata/releaseNotes
      • /package/metadata/licenseUrl
      • /package/metadata/packageSourceUrl
      • /package/metadata/docsUrl
      • /package/metadata/projectSourceUrl
      • /package/metadata/bugTrackerUrl
      • /package/metadata/summary
      • /package/metadata/description (note this is formatted using Markdown)

      For many elements a simple replace of DiskInfo with DiskMark will suffice (but do watch upper-/lowercase!)

    • [Wayback/Archive] chocolatey-packages/update.ps1 at master · mkevenaar/chocolatey-packages: the autoupdate package script
    • [Wayback/Archive] chocolatey-packages/README.md at master · mkevenaar/chocolatey-packages filled from the .nuspec file.
      • icon (even for CrystalDiskInfo this needed replacement as the one back-then was blurred due to resizing) from /package/iconUrl
      • heading from /package/id
      • content from /package/description
    • [Wayback/Archive] chocolatey-packages/LICENSE.txt at master · mkevenaar/chocolatey-packages (this needs some work as it was based on
    • [Wayback/Archive] CrystalDiskInfo/LICENSE.txt at master · hiyohiyo/CrystalDiskInfo, but there is no https://github.com/hiyohiyo/CrystalDiskMark/blob/master/LICENSE.txt so I filed [Wayback/Archive] LICENSE.txt, README.ja.md and README.md are missing (they are in the https://github.com/hiyohiyo/CrystalDiskInfo repository))
    • [Wayback/Archive] chocolatey-packages/VERIFICATION.txt at master · mkevenaar/chocolatey-packages (change URLs and SHA256, find a new license URL first).
    • [Wayback/Archive] chocolatey-packages/opusdec.exe.ignore at master · mkevenaar/chocolatey-packages  (need to think about this one as it might not be needed at all; current content is empty)
    • [Wayback/Archive] chocolatey-packages/DiskInfo.exe.gui at master · mkevenaar/chocolatey-packages (need to think about this one as it might not be needed at all; current content is empty)

    • [Wayback/Archive] chocolatey-packages/helpers.ps1 at master · mkevenaar/chocolatey-packages (check the process-names opusdec and AlertMail; replace DiskInfo with DiskMark)
  • [Wayback/Archive] chocolatey-packages/crystaldiskinfo.png at master · mkevenaar/chocolatey-packages (needs replacement as it is blurry)
