DeeJanuzandClaude Opus 5.5 9411148596 Releases are one file: Frametop.zip on a GitHub release, built on Depot, no registry
User decision (2026-10-07): people download one file from GitHub, installed through FrameDrop
or unpacked on the headset, holding everything, with no container registry.

Frametop.zip (framedrop/build.sh --image, about 1.1 GB) holds the image as an OCI archive
(podman save), frametop-release.json (pack/release-info.py: version, commit, the archive's
sha256, the image's ID, and the SteamOS table), the install window, and
pack/install-release.sh. That script checks this SteamOS build (against main's steamos.json
when it can fetch it, else the release's copy), checks the archive's sha256, loads it and
checks the ID, copies the release's tree out and runs its install.sh, then keeps the release
before and removes older ones. pack/release-box.sh checks the image's ID before making the
container. The install window runs install-release.sh when the zip has one (get.sh in a test
zip), and reaches systemd through the user's real bus when it's opened from a VR desktop.

get.sh --release now downloads the zip from GitHub (newest stable, --experimental,
--version V, or --zip FILE|URL), resumable and per release, and runs its installer; a
damaged download (exit status 3) is fetched again next time. The registry release list and
its writer are gone.

.github/workflows/release.yml replaces image.yml: on a v* tag or by hand only, on
depot-ubuntu-24.04-arm-4, it builds the image with podman, runs the test gate in it, checks
what a release installs, builds the zip, and makes a draft release (prerelease for a tag
with a "-") with the zip, its FrameDrop manifest, frametop-release.json, and SHA256SUMS.
pack/release-notes.md is the draft's install text.

Tested on the Frame: the release tests (24 checks), a real zip from the local image installed
with get.sh --release --zip --clone-only (sha256, load, ID, copy), a damaged archive (exit 3),
and release-box.sh refusing an image with another ID.

# Install everything on the Steam Frame: the build container, Frametop (multi-screen
# desktop, input relay, universal 3D mouse, settings app), and optionally gaze mode, our own
# eye tracker for it, and the Bluetooth fixes. Run it on the headset in a terminal, from this repo. It's safe to re-run,
# for example after `git pull`. (Hand tracking, hands/, is deferred: it isn't offered here.)
# (It also works from a PC over SSH; see "Developing from a PC" in the README.)
# In a release (pack/install-release.sh), the programs come built from its image: this installs the
# distrobox the release brings, makes the release's container from its image, and builds nothing.
#
# Usage: ./install.sh [--yes] [--no-eye-tracker] [--no-bluetooth | --bluetooth]
# --yes don't ask; installs gaze mode, and our eye tracker if sudo can run without
# a password prompt; skips the Bluetooth fixes and the SteamVR restart
# --no-eye-tracker don't offer our own eye tracker
# --no-bluetooth don't offer the Bluetooth fixes
# --bluetooth install the Bluetooth fixes without asking (with --yes: if sudo can run
# without a password prompt)

cat <<'EOF'
SteamVR has to restart once, to load the 3D mouse driver and to start the input relay
before it. Restarting SteamVR closes everything open in VR, including this terminal if
it's in a VR desktop. Rebooting the headset works too.
Recommended: in Frametop Display Settings > Power, choose when the displays turn off
while the headset isn't used (for a stand or mount that covers its proximity sensor), and
turn on Stay awake while plugged in, so Steam doesn't put the headset to sleep while it
charges. The displays still turn off when you take the headset off.
