Moved from the Extras bucket — amber is a CLI tool that meets Main's criteria (951 stars, MIT, latest stable release, version-specific download URL). Companion PR removing it from Extras: ScoopInstaller/Extras#18341

Two deliberate changes from the Extras manifest:

  • checkver reduced to the "github" shortcut, since homepage is the repo URL and no jsonpath/regex is needed
  • Added suggest.vcredist — both ambs.exe and ambr.exe link VCRUNTIME140.dll

PR checklist:

  • Use conventional PR title: <manifest-name[@version]|chore>: <general summary of the pull request>
  • I have read the Contributing Guide

There is no native support in Scoop for handling manifest renames or migrations between buckets. If we migrate right away, those who previously installed this package from previous bucket won't receive updates anymore. Moving or renaming a manifest is a bit complicated right now, as it requires adding a deprecation notice first and then deprecating the manifest entirely after a few months.

e.g.,

Unless it's strictly necessary, I suggest holding off on any migration until a native mechanism is introduced. BTW, even manifests like posh-git are still in the Extras bucket.
