Install from an AppImage URL

[balupton]

soar add https://github.com/Legcord/Legcord/releases/download/v1.1.6/Legcord-1.1.6-linux-arm64.AppImage

This would allow me to use soar for all AppImage support within Dorothy

Yeah. This is planned. I may need to add support for zsync first so these can also be updated..

[QaidVoid]

It's now available on nightly. zsync isn't supported yet, so updates aren't managed.

Thanks for adding it so quickly! I'm now implementing it within Dorothy.

Regarding the implementation, when installing an appimage via URL, like the OP:

soar add https://github.com/Legcord/Legcord/releases/download/v1.1.6/Legcord-1.1.6-linux-arm64.AppImage

How would/should upgrades work? Will soar handle keeping Legcord up to date itself? Or should I/Dorothy handle upgrades by invoking soar add <the-newer-appimage-url>?

There's no update support when installing with direct URL.. There's no mechanism to fetch the new version for the installed package (URL isn't tracked either).. If you do use the declarative approach, updates are supported there since the file itself contains how to fetch new versions..
For direct URL, soar needs to add additional information to the database or maybe in the install dir itself, which requires some design decisions to come up with a proper solution.. I haven't given much thought on this yet..

You can re-install the package by providing new url with -f (force) flag to update it though..
