Repology (https://repology.org/repository/winget) is offering an API to get latest version of software across multiple repos. IMHO the most interesting feature beyond checking if a package is outdated, if a package is potentially vulnerable: https://repology.org/projects/?inrepo=winget&vulnerable=1. Repoplogy offers a simple API https://repology.org/api/v1
User can understand if a package if it is worth updating. Particularly I hesitate to move a package from chocolatey to winget if not really necessary. Security is certainly a reason.
They have an interesting API, that cover most of the available package managers, but I need to figure out how to properly take advantage of it
Please confirm these before moving forward.
