2 things to look at

  • no licenseNo license file was found in the repository. Code published without one is not open source by default, so using it at work is a question for whoever answers licensing questions where you are.
  • 4 stars4 stars. Stars are a popularity signal and not a quality one, but at this level it is likely that nobody has read this closely except its author, and you would be relying on your own review.

Use this skill when the user wants to publish a new Mos release (stable or beta) and needs:

  • Sparkle appcast.xml generated from the notarized .zip in build/
  • Two hosted release notes pages (Chinese + English)
  • Sparkle to show Chinese for all zh* locales (Simplified/Traditional/HK/TW), and English for everything else

Inputs

  • --since <commit>: the previous release commit (exclusive). Used to generate release notes from changes since that commit.
  • A notarized+zipped app in build/ named:
    • Mos.Versions.<version>-<YYYYMMDD>.<num>.zip (stable)
    • Mos.Versions.<version>-beta-<YYYYMMDD>.<num>.zip (beta)
  • Sparkle Ed25519 private key at sparkle_private_key.txt (gitignored).
  • Optional env:
    • RELEASE_NOTES_BASE_URL (default https://mos.caldis.me/release-notes)
    • RELEASE_NOTES_ZH_FILE / RELEASE_NOTES_EN_FILE to point to pre-written HTML files (otherwise the script writes to build/release-notes/<tag>.*.html)

What to do

  1. Run the skill script:
    • bash .codex/skills/generate-sparkle-appcast/scripts/generate_appcast.sh --since <commit>
  2. Confirm outputs:
    • build/appcast.xml (generated)
    • docs/appcast.xml (copied for mos.caldis.me/appcast.xml)
    • build/release-notes/<tag>.zh.html + build/release-notes/<tag>.en.html (generated)
    • docs/release-notes/<tag>.zh.html + docs/release-notes/<tag>.en.html (copied for hosting)
  3. Ensure the GitHub Release tag and asset name match the URL inside the generated appcast.

Notes

  • The script emits two <sparkle:releaseNotesLink> entries: xml:lang="zh" points to the Chinese page, and the default link points to the English page.
  • You can pre-create/edit build/release-notes/<tag>.zh.html and build/release-notes/<tag>.en.html before running the script; the script will reuse them if present, otherwise it generates a default template from git history.
  • If the zip changes in any way (repacked/re-signed), you must re-run the script to regenerate sparkle:edSignature.
