Question

Hi folks is there any chance of a 4 8 nuget being published soon

zwass · Answer

I believe we wait on the release being declared stable before publishing to the package repos

grahamgilbert · Answer

Where does that get documented The Official release on <http osquery io|osquery io> is 4 8

johnnyramos · Answer

< thor> we at a point where we can remove the rest of the scripts within the package and use a basic package for the au bot on the community repo to update the osquery one leveraging the latest msi I saw the PR get closed

thor · Answer

Oof y all I will get on getting 4 8 0 to chocolatey ASAP my apologies for letting these things drop I have the official package and will submit to chocolatey here shortly

thor · Answer

< johnnyramos> not entirely sure I follow what are you asking I think a lot of the scripting used for package builds likely can be removed though I m not entirely sure what folks are using these days Are you wanting something that periodically is building choco packages Right now anytime we tag a release I drop the choco packages in the < C08VA3XQU|core> channel and I think they re also uploaded to S3 right alongside the msi

thor · Answer

I d really love to get us to a more automated state of submission for the WIndows binaries to remove myself from the equation though so if there s things I can be doing to help remove myself from the loop lemme know

johnnyramos · Answer

osquery utils ps1 does alot of work to ensure osquery is installed properly The question was more around how it can be removed in favor of leveraging the msi to install it from the chocolatey package rather than it running scripts and drop the exe down

Mike Myers · Answer

< thor> if you have access on osquery osquery codesign you might look at what the team is doing to automate the macOS part at least I don t have access but maybe opening an issue over there and dropping a list of what needs to get done can help automate the Windows releases a bit more

thor · Answer

< Mike Myers> yeah good call will take a look

thor · Answer

< johnnyramos> that s an interesting idea So the Chocolatey package would really just wrap around the MSI That definitely might save us some extra overhead and might mean more for consistency of installations

thor · Answer

re the choco package I just submitted it to Chocolatey so it should be available sometime todaqy

thor · Answer

johnnyramos · Answer

< thor> believe I sent you the package a while back that just wraps the osquery msi I m sure it needs some dusting but it would adhere to the standards of the au bot within the Chocolatey community repo

thor · Answer

I remember this I ll try and carve some time to dig this back out and take a look

thor · Answer

sigh the osquery package failed validation something about the iconUrl being invalid I ll take a look a bit later today sorry for the delay all

thor · Answer

It s failing because it seems that the `osquery ico` has ~moved~ been removed

thor · Answer

Ah it was indeed moved got it should have a fix coming soon I think I can monkey patch the previous release and just get a new version of the chocolatey package for distribution

grahamgilbert · Answer

We don t use the community feed for this so just finding out about < C08VA3XQU|core> helped unblock me Perhaps it could be published on the main downloads page instead as well

thor · Answer

Yeah that s good feedback I m not 100 how to do that right off but I think it ll just be messing around with the site a bit to add a portion for the choco package

thor · Answer

heads up < theopolis> do you know how easy it would be to also expose the choco package on the main downloads page I think it ll be pretty easy and I m down to take a crack at building that out

thor · Answer

Also just FYI re this thread somethings goofy with my local build so I wasn t able to get the fixed up choco package published I m working on it now and hoping to get it sorted as quick as possible thanks y all for the patience
