Version constraining - Multiple !=

[kevinlekiller]

Is there any way to ignore 2 release versions, but allow older / newer releases.

I'll use the example of https://github.com/flathub/io.mpv.Mpv below:

yt-dlp's versions 2023.03.04 (the latest version) and 2023.03.03 have issues, the previous version before that (2023.02.17) works fine.

This doesn't work :

versions: {'!=': '2023.03.03', '!=': '2023.03.04'} (since we can't have multiple not equals)

Being able to have multiple not equals or regex would be nice, like this:

versions: {'!=': '2023.03.0[34]'}

Or maybe there's another way?

I ran into this limitation the other day. Possible syntaxes if someone wanted to extend the "versions" feature to support this, none of which are exactly beautiful, and none of which work today:

versions:
  '&&': [
    {'!=': '2023.03.03'},
    {'!=': '2023.03.04'},
  ]

versions: {'!=': ['2023.03.03', '2023.03.04'}

versions: {'∉': ['2023.03.03', '2023.03.04'}

versions: {'not in': ['2023.03.03', '2023.03.04'}

You could do this as a gross but functional workaround:

    sources:
      - type: archive
        url: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/download/2023.02.17/yt-dlp.tar.gz
        sha256: 81f607b8754b1bc67e6592a4e316c015d720e7118757a5afd4ef2aaf37d2ef29
        x-checker-data:
          type: json
          url: https://api.github.com/repos/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases
          version-query: map(select( .draft | not )) | map(select(.tag_name != "2023.03.03" and .tag_name != "2023.03.04")) | .[0].tag_name
          url-query: "https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/download/" + $version + "/yt-dlp.tar.gz"

YAML quoting left as an exercise to the reader, I only tested these at the jq command line.

How about

versions:
  '<': 2023.03.03
  '>': 2023.03.04

?

Thanks for the reply.

I did try that initially, but it returns the latest version, I think because https://api.github.com/repos/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest only returns one version, I'm guessing this is because versions expects multiple versions:

- name: yt-dlp
  no-autogen: true
  no-make-install: true
  make-args:
    - yt-dlp
    - PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3
  post-install:
    - install yt-dlp /app/bin
  sources:
    - type: archive
      url: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/download/2023.02.17/yt-dlp.tar.gz
      sha256: 81f607b8754b1bc67e6592a4e316c015d720e7118757a5afd4ef2aaf37d2ef29
      x-checker-data:
       type: json
       url: https://api.github.com/repos/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest
       versions:
        '<': 2023.03.03
        '>': 2023.03.04
       version-query: .tag_name
       url-query: .assets[] | select(.name=="yt-dlp.tar.gz") | .browser_download_url

;

Thinking again – I don't think the json checker supports the versions property at all. And I don't think it really can do – the version-query just returns one result. What would the versions predicates be matched against?
