Add Opal to Scoop

[sbstn87]

Hi,

would you consider adding Opal to Scoop?

Is there an added benefit to doing that?
I'm personally not to keen on third party app installers, except for the Windows Store.

IMHO, Scoop is the best and simplest package manager for Windows. And it is a very popular place to distribute open source software, so the benefit is a large potential user base.

Larger user base is not necessarily important. We don't collect, sell, or otherwise process user data and don't particularly develop software for status or brand recognition. It is simply provided as-is, in the FOSS space.

Truth of the matter is that I'm afraid there simply isn't time for me to manage additional installers except for the one provided. If someone is willing to add this to scoop I'd happily accept the pull request.

Likewise, community members have added Opal to the Arch User Repository on their own initiative, but I simply don't have the time to tinker with all the different installer flavors for the different platforms that Opal is available for (being Windows, Linux and macOS).
