Add App to Package Manager? #65
;
Add App to Package Manager (e.g., preferably Chocolatey, Winget)?
Should I make 2 issue here or is this one just about UI?
2.
I only see "Install UWP App" option here, is this for all apps or just UWP. Also does it also fetch all the latest (Retail label in https://store.rg-adguard.net ) dependencies?
Does this have the same mechanism as installing apps from downloaded files from https://store.rg-adguard.net and then using Add-AppxPackage to install it?
Edit: Spellings

Forgot to add, addendum:
Just use Winget, Chocolatey package will be broken if the repository has a URL path change. This is not shown in the website of 'choco install ' but is visible when searched in CLI: e.g., Sysinternals by Microsoft is broken for FOSS user, its cached for licensed user. usually because of path change. Nirsoft still works but the maintainer is not active currently.
Technically, there are most package managers (excluding msys2 (not really a package manager, but there's a release of czkawka; krokiet,etc. there, as an alternative to the github version), cygwin, that I know of) inside UniGetUI, also python. so not sure if its doable, just the installer or portable version using 'pip'?
Any choice works really, though I really like Numstr take on Obsidian Portable.
And lastly, just pick the choice that is not a burden to maintain, portability is 2nd. Complex code or, pardon the word, 'spaghetti code, would be a dead end (for most small FLOSS dev) (either dead end, or entering maintenance mode, e.g., SD Maid. the rewrite is SD Maid SE. I'm also afraid if syncthing-Fork would stop, and will be the end for my android storage space).
Unless a rewrite is possible, IG (hypothetical full backup from Tachiyomi to the successor [not possible]).
tl;dr
My current wish would be unofficial PortableApps form with self-extractor, e.g., how Numstr/Obsidian Portable did it (unofficial take, since the self-extraction is diff from official, but better since it's DIY).
2nd would be just winget, doable in UniGetUI in the 'custom arguments: bar' in the case winget error or not installed in the user machine.
P.S.
Is it possible to install system app (e.g., https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9nblggh4nns1 link from https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli ) using alt-app-installer (winget can't install its own desktop app installer)?
I broke my winget with installing preview, currently waiting until preview version is older than latest stable release, then install it using Add-AppxPackage https://store.rg-adguard.net/ .appx
Edit_2:
spaghetti code is a bad term, so I'll just opt to say stick to best practice.
I was about to say technical debt, but this only applies to a dev being pressured by a manager (I first heard this from Fireship).
