Add dependencies packages to the package list/sources

Open Kein opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Description of the new feature/enhancement

Add numerous dependencies to the packages list for separate/direct installation. For example, search for:

winget search --id xaml

does not return any results that include Microsoft.UI.Xaml which is a dependency package for many UWP/Store apps. Same for Microsoft.VCLibs. It is a bit weird and greatly inconvenient you cant install them directly if you happed to need that.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Every single of them is a package, nothing special, just need to be added in the list.

WinGet now has support for dependencies. Any dependencies required by installers are now required to be available in the community repository.

I assume it is planned for 1.8?
