Here's the quick 'n dirty guide to adding a new OS to quickget
- Update
os_support()
- add new OS, all lowercase - Update
os_info()
- Fill all possible fields for the new OS: Here's an example:
<OS name>) INFO="<OS nice name>|<OS based on>|<OS default login:pass if any>|<OS homepage>|<ABOUT>";;
- Create a
releases_newos()
generator (required) outputs the current supported release versions, starting with the newest. - Create a
editions_newos()
generator (optional) outputs the editions if new OS has multiple flavours/editions - Update
make_vm_config()
- add any required new OS tweaks - Create a
get_newos()
function - This echoes the URL to the ISO and HASH. See the other existing functions for reference, but here's an simple example.
function get_newos() {
local HASH=""
local ISO=""
local URL=""
ISO="newos-${RELEASE}-${EDITION}-amd64.iso"
URL="https://www.newos.org/download/${RELEASE}/${EDITION}"
HASH=$(web_pipe "${URL}/SHA512SUMS" | grep "${ISO}" | cut -d' ' -f 1)
echo "${URL}/${ISO} ${HASH}"
}
