How to install / to configure if released tarballs contain two or more binaries?

[lupo-on-github]

The tarballs released for scrcpy contain two binaries,

• scrcpy
• scrcpy-server

The second is mandatory [1].

But it seems to be ignored.

Is this happening because

• it is a second binary in the tarball, or
• alone because it is not marked as executable [2]?

---

[1] scrcpy pushes scrcpy-server to an Android device,
where it is executed.

[2] Even if registered in config.yaml seperately as binary to install,
binup seems to refuse to download it, complaining that it is not
marked as executable.

1. If release file contains more than one binary, in terms of binup it's multiple applications that should be configured/installed separately. Here is an example of how I install various VictoriaMetrics tools which are packaged in a single archive:

  vmagent:
    project: VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics
    changelog: https://docs.victoriametrics.com/CHANGELOG.html
    release_matcher: ~^vmutils-linux-amd64-v(\d+\.){3}tar\.gz$
    binary_matcher: vmagent-prod
    post: systemctl restart vmagent.service

  vmalert:
    project: VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics
    changelog: https://docs.victoriametrics.com/CHANGELOG.html
    release_matcher: ~^vmutils-linux-amd64-v(\d+\.){3}tar\.gz$
    binary_matcher: vmalert-prod
    post: systemctl restart 'vmalert@*.service'

  vmbackup:
    project: VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics
    changelog: https://docs.victoriametrics.com/CHANGELOG.html
    release_matcher: ~^vmutils-linux-amd64-v(\d+\.){3}tar\.gz$
    binary_matcher: vmbackup-prod

  victoria-metrics:
    project: VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics
    changelog: https://docs.victoriametrics.com/CHANGELOG.html
    release_matcher: ~^victoria-metrics-linux-amd64-v(\d+\.){3}tar\.gz$
    post: systemctl restart 'victoria-metrics@*'

2. In your case you actually have the following:

• adb and scrcpy binaries, which you can install in the same manner as in example above.
• scrcpy-server which is actually not an executable binary (application) – it's apk (package). So it's a related resource for scrcpy which is not supported by binup – at this time it supports single binary apps only which doesn't require any additional resources (which makes installation/upgrade rules clear and understandable).

The only thing I can recommend now, is to workaround the issue in post script:

post: |
  set -eu
  set -o pipefail
  version="$(/usr/local/bin/scrcpy --version 2>&1 | head -n1 | cut -d' ' -f2)"
  curl --fail --location "https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy/releases/download/v$version/scrcpy-linux-x86_64-v$version.tar.gz" | tar -C /usr/local/lib -xz --wildcards '*/scrcpy-server' --transform 's/.*/scrcpy-server/' --no-same-owner
