New installer - TiddlyInstall

This is the build server's simple form. It works in any browser, with or without JavaScript: the server builds the installers and gives you a page with the links. The builder page does more (editing, signing, files from your computer) in a current browser.

What to package

Name

Shown by the installer and on the app's launcher. Leave blank to use the project's name.

Source

A GitHub repo (owner/repo or its github.com address), a package name (PyPI, npm, RubyGems, crates.io, Go modules, NuGet .NET tools), or the address of a .zip or .tar.gz.

Language

Version of the source

For a tag, branch, commit or package version, type it in the box.

Signing

A signature here goes on the installer program - the one we wrote, the same in every installer built here - and never on the software it installs. It says that program is what it claims to be and unaltered; it says nothing about your app.

Signed by TiddlyInstall (not yet)
Not available in this prototype: it needs a code-signing certificate, which we don't have yet.

Signed by you
Unsigned files for you to sign with your own certificate (signtool, osslsigncode or a current browser's Edit page).

Unsigned
For testing, or where signatures don't matter.

Pack the downloads into the installer (works offline) "Signed by you" and "Unsigned" only; larger files, and slower to build.
