Add distribution support for common package managers

[ezekg]

Related to #478, #489, #490, #491. Foundation implemented in #679.

Add unique subdomain for each engine, e.g. Composer https://composer.pkg.keygen.sh.

• sparkle
• squirrel
• electron (alias for squirrel)
• tauri: Add Tauri release engine #753 and Add support for Tauri v2 #860
• npm: Add a release engine for npm #489
• unity (alias for npm?)
• gems: Add a release engine for Rubygems #491
• composer (requires subdomains)
• docker (OCI)
• pypi: Add PyPI package registry #679
• wp: Add release engine for WordPress #904
• homebrew
• raw: Add raw distribution engine #892

Would like to add a slug to products, to make these URLs prettier. E.g. like GitHub repos or something. Verbiage like "Unique URL-friendly identifier for your product."

https://bin.keygen.sh/<account>/<product>

Related to #84.

May be easier to just recommend customers add their custom domain, or set up a redirect from one of their own domain to get.keygen.sh.

We could house this under e.g. update.keygen.sh. Make is super easy to plug-and-play for Electron and other Squirrel-compatible upgrade frameworks (Tauri).

Electron distribution engine

Depending on platform, filetype could default to e.g. darwin => zip.

GET https://electron.keygen.sh/:account/:product/:channel/:platform/:version
{
  url: artifact.url,
  name: release.name,
  notes: release.description,
  pub_date: release.created_at
}

Tauri distribution engine

Defaults to bin filetype?

GET https://tauri.keygen.sh/:account/:product/:channel/:platform/:version
{
  url: artifact.url,
  name: release.name,
  notes: release.description,
  pub_date: release.created_at
}

---

Even better would be generating a unique URL slug for each account/product/platform/channel combo, so it could end up being something simple like this:

GET https://update.keygen.sh/utAsCd8icu1VGhJw/:version

Let’s put the engine on the release? Then we can add subdomains, e.g. npm.keygen.sh, which lists releases of a specific engine in the engine’s required format.

keygen new ... --engine SPARKLE

Use pkg.keygen.sh?

Use Satis for generating static composer repo?

Starting with pypi may be the easiest. We'd need to set up an endpoint that essentially just lists available artifacts via an HTML page. For more info, see this page on hosting a simple Python package repository.
