Is it possible to do some “if Windows”, “if Linux” checks, etc. in the shards.yaml file ? (to avoid unnecessary downloads, depending upon the platforms, i.e. : to allow platform-specific installations) ?

Maybe you can compile this C code and call it from Crystal, if not possible in Crystal itself?: #include <stdio.h> #if defined(_WIN32) || defined(_WIN64) const char* os = "Windoze"; #else #ifdef __linux const char* os = "Linux"; #else const char* os = "Unknown"; #endif #end…

Thank you, but the shards.yml itself is not Crystal code!

On the other hand, with the new browser, there’s no need anymore for a different .yml file per platform. The dependencies are again the same on all platforms (so, problem solved). :slight_smile:
