Integrate Updates with Winget Community

[SirLouen]

The idea is to create msi instead of exe packages from this repository and add them to winget Community Repository.
https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs

Instead of using Inno Setup for packaging, consider something like MSIX https://pub.dev/packages/msix

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/package/
Create the manifest: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/package/manifest?tabs=minschema%2Cversion-example
Submit the manifest: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/package/repository

Why build msi when winget-pkgs also accept standalone exe files?

[jo-chemla]

The package manifest for ente-auth installer already lists InstallerUrl: https://github.com/ente-io/ente/releases/download/auth-v4.0.2/ente-auth-v4.0.2-installer.exe

[SirLouen]

I can see it's already there https://winstall.app/apps/ente-io.auth-desktop

For some reason when I posted this I could not find it.

[jo-chemla]

Great, probably the package was no there yet (first auth was 5 months ago) or winstall db was not up-to-date. You can probably close the discussion then!

[SirLouen]

Something is going wrong with the package

> winget update --id=ente-io.auth-desktop  -e
No available upgrade found.
No newer package versions are available from the configured sources.

Latest release of ente-io.auth-desktop on winget-pkgs is 4.0.2 see https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/tree/master/manifests/e/ente-io/auth-desktop
If you want ente to push upgrades to winget-pkgs on every github release, please track the following thread with suggested github-action workflow based on winget-releaser: #3950
