Package yggdrasil for Winget #713

Open Mikaela opened 4 years ago

Winget is Microsoft's own package manager under development, see the link for instructions getting the preview.

Winget package repository: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs

Loosely related to https://github.com/yggdrasil-network/yggdrasil-go/issues/611 in case Chocolatey itself gets packaged (https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/pull/367).

i didn't know winget did package management yet, last i checked it was just an exe downloader with no ability to manage (remove, depend, upgrade, migrate, etc) packages.

Mikaela commented 4 years ago

Sadly that is still the case, for now. https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/223

Maybe it's time to revisit this. Winget is still just a wrapper for installer EXEs and MSIs, but upgrades and removals seem to work pretty well now. Well enough that I'm now using winget for almost everything that I used to need chocolatey for.

Winget has recently become very strong and has become the main way for me to work with software, even on servers, please add it to the repository.

Anyone who wants to volunteer to support the Windows package would be welcome to do so.

pomazanbohdan commented 1 year ago

Yes, but it would be good if it was done by the community yggdrasil and not by a third party, so as not to lose control and automate it later.

P.S.

Ok, why not https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/pull/135597

SNMetamorph commented 10 months ago

Now Yggdrasil can be installed on Windows with just one line: winget install YggdrasilNetwork.Yggdrasil So I think we can close this issue and also update installation instructions.

It's quite outdated right now.

So, I tried to keep package up-to-date, but unfortunately that's seemed almost impossible because of weird Microsoft malware checking. Most of the times it's just failed for unknown reason while scanning installers

neilalexander commented 1 day ago

Unfortunately this is an extremely common problem with Go binaries and Windows Defender. I have never found a good solution that doesn't involve expensive code signing. For a while I was submitting builds as false positives to Microsoft but the next one would always end up getting flagged anyway.

If it isn't feasible to keep the package up-to-date then it is probably best to withdraw it from Winget completely, otherwise users run the risk of installing and running old versions without realising it.

We were also extremely annoyed with our Xash3D FWGS engine being false-positively detected as malware by Microsoft Defender. Once we added signing binaries with self-signed certificate, this somehow helped and we didn't received any reports about false-positive detections since then. So this may be an option too.
