Github Action workflow to auto-push new Ente Auth/Photos releases to winget-packages

[jo-chemla]

Current package releases for Ente Auth, CLI (+ Photos Desktop, see other repo) are done manually by community, eg see for auth here and there, so the ente winget packages are not up-to-date - current version available is 4.0.2 while newest github release is 4.1.0.

It would be useful that every new github release of Ente also pushes the updated packages to the winget-pkgs repo via a PR. This can be easily done with the winget-releaser@v2 Github action that can be incorporated into the current workflows for auth-release.

Should a similar discussion be opened on Ente Photo Desktop repo so every new release also gets auto pushed to winget-pkgs? Thanks!

Describe the solution you'd like to see.

Here is a reference article based on Winget-Releaser@v2 Github Action. Below is an action yml files made to keep the winget package up-to-date on every github release, via Github Actions.

Requires:

• You will need to create a classic Personal Access Token (PAT) with public_repo scope.
• This token should be added as a repository secret by creating a new repo secret with name WINGET_ACC_TOKEN and value the token
• Fork microsoft/winget-pkgs under the same account/organization as the project's repository. If you are forking winget-pkgs on a different account (e.g. bot/personal account), you can use the fork-user input to specify the username of the account where the fork is present.
