packaging request: burp package for Chocolatey

[grke]

Hello,

This is grke. I had a request in the burp issues list for something to do with the ansible, from github user jirib.
I have closed it there, and am copying that request here:

Hi,

as you refer to Ansible on the wiki, maybe it would be nice to have a package in Chocolatey so Windows boxes could have burp installed via Ansible's 'win_chocolatey' module.

Manage packages using Chocolatey (http://chocolatey.org/).
If Chocolatey is missing from the system, the module will install it.
List of packages can be found at http://chocolatey.org/packages.

Example:

- name: Install burp
  win_chocolatey:
    name: burp
    state: present

I could write a wiki page about Ansible, Windows and burp, if needed.

Thanks Graham!

I don't see chocolatey package created in chocolatey repos: https://chocolatey.org/packages?q=burp
Burp server is not possible to be ran on windows, so only it could apply to client role.

Are you going to package and update burp in chocolatey to get it working?

I'm not interested in an existing ansible roles, I was reffering to have burp in chocolatey and thus burp client would need package for it, see https://chocolatey.org/docs/create-packages

This is good idea, and I was thinking on doing it some time.

But this means we need to do more tests and tasks for this packaging for every release, and it always takes more of our time.
All what we do here is done on our spare time, so time is limited.

Actually I'm maintaining these ansible roles, keeping them updated and healthy, this takes time too and there is no much room free right now.

Graham doesn't make packaging for any distribution, he develops burp and only creates the installer for windows because it is needed to have burp on windows.

I think someone else should take care of chocolatey packaging right now, but will keep it open just to remmember this pending task.

Thanks, pablo.
