libreelec / release-scripts

scripts used for generating releases.json

Description

The scripts in the repository are used to:

• generate the releases.json file used in the USB-SD-Creator and in the addon's update feature present in LibreELEC 12.0+
• generate json file used for Raspberry Pi Imager
• manage stale image files in the release testing archive

releases.py

releases.py generates json formatted output with the filenames, file sizes, sha256 sums, modification timestamp, and the directory subpath the file resides in.

For example:

    "canary": 21,
    "prettyname_regex": "^LibreELEC-.*-([0-9]+\\.[0-9]+\\-.*-[0-9]{8}-[0-9a-z]{7})",
