Some scenarios related to install/upgrade/import need improvements
Issue-Feature
This is a feature request for the Windows Package Manager client.
Description of the new feature / enhancement
I'd like to help users keep winget-pkgs updated.
@simonhollingshead suggested:
WinGet could detect when a user has a newer version of a package.
Similar to:
This might be a new command, or an argument (with corollary settings).
Both
winget list
andwinget upgrade
already evaluate installed packages. When the user has a newer version of a package than the community repository, winget could provide output to request a contribution.We would certainly need a specification for the next part of the process where a user could be logically prompted and taken through an experience similar to
wingetcreate update --version <version> <PackageIdentifier>
where they provide the URL(s) and help keep the WinGet community repository updated.Proposed technical implementation details
