[Feature] Share app to chocolatey.org

[picu63]

Hi,
I'll be nice if SystemTrayMenu will be on chocolatey.org or other similar package provider.
Specially when taskbar in Windows 11 is highly limited.
Thanks

It should be available at the Microsoft Store on Windows 11 as well, right?

I followed this instruction:
https://weblog.west-wind.com/posts/2017/jan/29/creating-a-portable-and-embedded-chocolatey-package#embedded-binary-packages

finished until step "choco pack" - choco install has not worked yet

(and found a few example projects here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45255168/can-i-create-a-chocolatey-package-for-an-exe-that-isnt-an-installer)

Check status here: https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/systemtraymenu/1.1.1.0

(the documentation to create an update is here #255)

[Tanjalibertatis]

-files for package are located at C:\Windows\System32\SystemTrayMenu

=> VERIFICATION.txt file missing when binaries included (package)

So I added a file named VERIFICATION.txt (located at C:\Windows\System32\test\tools\VERIFICATION.txt) with
choco new test
edited and put it into C:\Windows\System32\SystemTrayMenu\tools

After that I updated everything to new version 1.2.0.0 and pushed to chocolatey.

package was reviewed, but there are some changes to make:

1. The iconUrl should be switched from github raw to a CDN: https://docs.chocolatey.org/en-us/create/create-packages#package-icon-guidelines
   => done by using https://statically.io/
2. The checksums need to be filled in.
   => done by filling in the checksum for the systemtraymenu.exe in the file chocolateyinstall.ps1
3. Are you the author of this software? If you are, please confirm with a comment here. If you are not, can you please put your Chocolatey username in the owners field in the nuspec and the software author's name in the authors field.
   => done by commenting discussion with "Yes, I am the author of this software."
4. The packageSourceUrl is for the source for the Chocolatey package (e.g. the .nuspec, chocolateyinstall.ps1, etc), not for where the source for the software that the package installs is.
   => done by deleting packageSourceUrl in the file systemtraymenu.nuspec, because it's optional
5. Since the 32 bit and 64 bit urls are the same, the 64 bit url and checksum can be removed. Chocolatey will go ahead and use the 32 bit url on 64 bit systems
   => done by deleting those (4 lines) in the file chocolateyinstall.ps1
6. Please fill in the VERIFICATION.txt with explicit steps on how to verify the included binaries are the same as the binaries published by the project. Example: https://github.com/chocolatey-community/chocolatey-coreteampackages/blob/master/automatic/7zip.install/legal/VERIFICATION.txt
   => done by adding an instruction and checksum to the file VERIFICATION.txt
7. Please fill in the LICENSE.txt instead of just using a license identifier.
   => done by copying the whole license text
8. Since the package is extracting a zip with Install-ChocolateyZipPackage into the $toolsDir, there should be no need for the uninstall script.
   => done by deleting the file chocolateyuninstall.ps1

(important addition from mail: 'repush your updated package with the exact same version')

=> just repushed

The reviewer answered:

So looking back at this package, it seems like the included files in the .nupkg are the same as the files in the archive that is downloaded and extracted with the install script. Is that correct?

So I actually think you don't need the install script at all, if that is the case.

So I deleted chocolateyinstall.ps1 and repushed the package

Status Change - Changed status of package from 'submitted' to 'approved'.

Test also worked well.

Just pushed latest version 1.2.3.

@phanirithvij that's nice, thank you!
So far we were not able to install SystemTrayMenu via scoop.
We found the GitHub bucket, thanks for that, we gave the project a star!

But when we type the commands
scoop install systemtraymenu or scoop install SystemTrayMenu
the following error message appears: Couldn't find manifest for 'systemtraymenu'.

Could you maybe help us?

[Tanjalibertatis]

Thank you @phanirithvij we got it now!
We have documented it here (#325) and will add it to the readme.

@Tanjalibertatis I'm really sorry I missed this in my inbox. Thanks for adding it to the readme.
