Chocolatey support available

[Xavier Jouvenot]

Hi Pluginval devs,

I don't know where to put this information, so I put it here.
I have created a chocolatey package with the last version of pluginval.

I will continue to maintain this package when new version of pluginval are going to come up :)

Is there a place in the documentation to specify this ? (it can be very useful for CI tests, for example)

HI there, thanks for doing this. Sure, if you can give me some additions to the README or maybe one of the docs I can add that.

Can I ask what the process for creating the chocolatey package is? It might be something I can add to the CI build process?

Hi @drowaudio ! 🙂

For the documentation, I am going to create a Pull Request. It will be simpler that way, I think 😉

For the chocolatey package creation process, I don't know if there is a way to integrate it to an already existing CI build process.

Personally, I am using the Automatic Packaging Framework of chocolatey named AU. This framework is setup so that a check on every packages I maintain occurs regularly (trigger by a cron job), and if a new version is found, then, a new version of the chocolatey package is created, sent to chocolatey package database where it will be tested automatically, and after that, a human moderator will validate the new version of the chocolatey package and make it fully available.

If you want, I can add you and/or other persons to the Github repository where I maintain pluginval chocolatey packages, and to the official maintainers of the chocolatey package websire of pluginval

@drowaudio I created a pull request #36 with the informations that, I think should be added.
Feel free to modify it before integrate it to develop 😉
