This PR adds qt-creator-git, qt-creator-cdb-ext-git, and qt-creator-wininterrupt-git manifests to the Versions bucket, as discussed in ScoopInstaller/Extras#17716.

These manifests download Qt Creator from the official Qt Creator GitHub releases instead of the Qt official mirrors (download.qt.io), which are often slow or unreliable for users in certain regions.

Key points:

  • Uses GitHub CDN for faster, more reliable downloads
  • Keeps existing qt-creator manifest untouched in Extras bucket
  • Includes notes field warning that these are not officially supported builds per the GitHub release disclaimer
  • Only x64 builds are available from GitHub releases (no arm64)
  • qt-creator-cdb-ext-git and qt-creator-wininterrupt-git depend on versions/qt-creator-git
  • Full parity with the Extras bucket trio (qt-creator, qt-creator-cdb-ext, qt-creator-wininterrupt)

Verified SHA256 hashes (from GitHub release API digest field):

  • qtcreator-windows-x64-msvc-19.0.1.7z: d6bc6068587297ce2dc38787bc5ace43368f85ea59520117d2a702d59bd6e40f
  • qtcreatorcdbext-windows-x64-msvc-19.0.1.7z: cc042c1e5569c1ee5637dab034d02a8309b13214d6b32bcfc8655459d97f528a
  • wininterrupt-windows-x64-msvc-19.0.1.7z: d4c843d7a3daa1c203ed77c5797fe90251e5b1e8cc2a5a8409840d55e34faba9

Closes the discussion in Extras#17716 about providing an alternative download source.

Walkthrough

Added three Scoop package manifests for Qt Creator version 19.0.1: the main Qt Creator application, a CDB debugger extension, and a wininterrupt component. Each manifest specifies download URLs, SHA256 hashes, dependencies, post-install hooks, and automatic update configuration for Windows.

Changes

- Add `conflicts_with` to prevent side-by-side installation with official
  `extras/qt-creator` and `extras/qt-creator-cdb-ext` packages
- Improve `notes` to explicitly mention x64-only limitation (GitHub releases
  do not provide arm64 builds, unlike official Qt mirrors)
- Replace placeholder fake MD5 hashes with `TODO` markers to signal that
  real hashes must be computed before merge
- Keep `checkver`/`autoupdate` structure aligned with Scoop conventions
- No functional URL or dependency changes
- Remove `conflicts_with` — this field does not exist in Scoop schema
  (schema.json has no such property; conflict warnings moved to `notes`)
- Remove invalid `"hash": "TODO"` — does not match hashPattern regex
  (schema requires md5:32hex, sha256:64hex, etc.)
- Omit `hash` entirely for now — schema-valid, install will warn
  (real hashes must be computed from release assets before merge)
- Expand `notes` to explicitly warn about side-by-side install conflict
  with official `extras/qt-creator` and `extras/qt-creator-cdb-ext`

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Missing pre_uninstall — junctions become dangling on uninstall.

The post_install creates directory junctions inside qt-creator-git's current\lib\ that point to versioned paths under qt-creator-cdb-ext-git's own app directory (i.e., the $dir at install time). When qt-creator-cdb-ext-git is uninstalled, Scoop deletes that versioned directory, leaving the junctions in qt-creator-git's lib tree pointing at a non-existent target. The CDB debugger extension then silently breaks for the user until they manually clean up the orphaned junctions.

Add a pre_uninstall entry that mirrors the cleanup in step 1 of post_install:

🛠️ Proposed fix — add `pre_uninstall`
     "depends": "versions/qt-creator-git",
+    "pre_uninstall": "Remove-Item \"$(appdir qt-creator-git $global)\\current\\lib\\qtcreatorcdbext*\" -Force -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue",
     "architecture": {
