Sealupd

Updater for SealDice, successor of seal-updater.

Usage

The program accepts to principal arguments: --package (short -p, alias --upgrade) and --pid. It waits for the process with the specified PID to terminate before extracting files from the provided package into the current directory. Finally, it tries to start the executable named sealdice-core or sealdice-core.exe unless the --skip-launch flag is set.

For a full definition of acceptable arguments and flags, see src/cli.rs.

Development

Warning

Please use Rust 1.80.0 and above to build this project, as it leverages new features such as std::sync::LazyLock.

Style Guides

1. Use cargo fmt without any options to format the project. Do not use rustfmt as it formats on a per-file basis and removes disambiguate imports.

2. Import types directly; prefer File instead of std::fs::File or fs::File, unless ambiguity forbids (Error and io::Error).

3. Import functions by their immediate parent module; prefer io::stdin() instead of std::io::stdin() or stdin().

TODO

• Implement business logic.
• Add log information.
• Add manifest and static build for Windows (via embed_manifest and static_vcruntime).
• CI/CD & auto-release
• Tests
• Make SealDice migrate from the old seal-updater.

Other Notes

• We might need a graceful way to log and print information rather than littering debug!() and println!() everywhere.

• The current implementation of proc::wait() is the best we can do, but feedback we got from seal-updater proves it is not always reliable.
