Deployment Method:

NOTE

This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.

1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url

(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)


2. Setup Your Environment

1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment

Please see the organizational deployment guide

2. Get the package into your environment

  • Open Source or Commercial:
    • Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
    • You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download

3. Copy Your Script

choco upgrade msys2-installer -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'20150916.0.0'" [other options]

See options you can pass to upgrade.

See best practices for scripting.

Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.

If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:


choco upgrade msys2-installer -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'20150916.0.0'" 
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE

Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
  Exit 0
}

Exit $exitCode

Package Approved

This package was approved by moderator flcdrg on 26 Mar 2017.

Description

This lightweight package performs an unattended installation of MSYS2 using official installer.
It is intended as an alternative to msys2 and msys2.install packages
which might be a better choice for some users.

Major differences when compared to MSYS2 package:
- Installation is performed from official .exe binaries instead of .tar.xz archives
- Unattended installation only without any additional customization or configuration (not even pacman --noconfirm -Syuu)

Major differences when compared to msys2.install package:
- msys2.install package is currently broken and not yet approved
- Support for unattended uninstall
- QtInstaller window is visible so that user can track progress and optionally answer MessageBox that is hard to automate (e.g. Corrupt_Installation_Error)

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).

Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.
