Publish to WPM (Windows Package Manager)

dfreilich commented 4 years ago

Description

As a windows user, I'd like to use winget to install pack.

Proposed solution

Add pack to Windows Package Manager (https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs)

Additional context

[x] This feature should be documented somewhere
- Release notes (maintained in this repo)
- https://buildpacks.io/docs/install-pack/

There seems to be a couple rough edges on with winget right now: package update and dependency support is TBD. Neither of those feel like blockers.

Waiting on internal VMware CLA approval for the winget repo

I just checked into this, and it should be fine. The only issue is, we release our Windows release as a zip with the binary inside, and winget currently doesn't support that (see https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/140, https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/182, https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/issues/580, and https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/issues/174, which are all virtually the same issue, that Winget doesn't support zips at the moment).

Is it worth it for us to release pack in a different format, like an .msi, or another format (discussion on SO over the merits of various formats)? Or do we not want to pollute our releases with too many artifacts?

For future work, a manifest that I validated works (outside of the installation, because zip...), is:
