By WinGet, do you mean https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli? It seems to be a way of installing applications. What would the advantage be compared to Chocolatey?
WinGet is a new Windows Package Manager. The link is the repo the client source. SBE manifest would be registered against https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs.
What would the advantage be compared to Chocolatey?
Baked into the ecosystem and promoted by Microsoft.
Also, this suggestion is not a replacement for Chocolatey.
Hey, guys. Having ServiceBusExplorer in WinGet would be really great. For example, right now, I don't have anything installed by chocolatey, and I need to have choco only for ServiceBusExplorer. Can you consider adding your application to the WinGet as well?
@ihordyrman would you have some capacity to assist?
@SeanFeldman, sure, I can help with that this weekend.
With a new version of WinGet 1.3, we can publish stand-alone applications. But it's limited to stand-alone .exe with no dependencies. https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/discussions/1887#discussioncomment-2723301.
Fortunately, this pull request should enable support for zip-based portable packages. I hope it will be merged soon.
After that, there should be no blockers for adding ServiceBusExplorer to WinGet.
That's great news. Incorporating WinGet will be much simpler with the introduction of Zip support as we already produce a zip package. Hopefully, that PR is merged and released soon.
The PR was merged 🎉 Getting closer to being unblocked, @ihordyrman.
Awesome! I will try to publish ServiceBusExplorer to WinGet this week
What would be better is to send a PR to set up our deployment pipelines to do that whenever a new version is published. Similar to what's done with Chocolatey here.
I can work with you on the PR to ensure it works.
@SeanFeldman, I'm sorry, but I have too many irons in the fire this weekend. Unfortunately, I haven't found any time for this task. You might want to give this task to someone else because I don't know when I will be available.
Looking at how to build that manifest.
