How is this associated with WinGet? The binary packages have never been distributed with any package manager.
I think @jesjess243 is indicating it would be nice to be able to distribute this version of nano using winget
.
However, in order for this to work, winget
requires portable packages to be archived using zip
and not 7z
. (Not entirely sure this is still the case.)
Thus, they are asking if it would be possible for you to also provide the packages as zip
archives in addition to the 7z
archive?
In looking at the 7z
archives, I think it might also have an issue with the x64
and x86
being bundle together, but I'm not sure about that.
I know it would entail more work, so it's understandable if not...
TIA! 😄
There is no stable release in this repository. There are also some patches that aren't merged upstream (please take a look at the patches
branch, which is what I use on Linux). If you would like there to be one in winget, please do find a maintainer, and please do build it yourself.
Would it be possible to host a .zip for compatibility with Winget package manager?
Winget's official Nano package is very outdated and the builds provided on the Nano website are bugged and without any documentation: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/issues/95161#issuecomment-1430423987
