windows package with Chocolatey? #885

Closed bish0polis closed 10 months ago

bish0polis commented 10 months ago

Description

The Readme says

Since there's no established package management on Windows to resolve dependencies

And I'm curious about our awareness of Chocolatey.org and its packaging ecosystem.

Packages are there; just, maybe not up to date.

Steps to reproduce

  1. choco install quaternion
  2. rejoice

Oh yes, I'm well aware of it - I wouldn't quite call it established (despite its maturity) so if that line rubs you the wrong way feel free to submit a PR with better wording. As for the subject of the issue - unfortunately, the previous maintainer abandoned the package, and nobody including me never got to picking it up. Would you volunteer to do that? I was told it's not too hard; but I'm on Linux, can't maintain Windows stuff.

Excellent!

Seems the word 'established' is subjectively subjective.

All good.

Heh, so we don't get an updated Chocolatey package. Oh well.
