Ability to populate winget-cli-restsource repository

Open noyard opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Created my own repository, is there a way to export a package from another repository and import it into my own repository?

I really do not want to have to recreate common already working applications.

example is winget show Oracle.JavaRuntimeEnvironment --source winget winget pkgexport Oracle.JavaRuntimeEnvironment --source winget winget pkgimport Oracle.JavaRuntimeEnvironment --source custom

This will depend on:

I also believe there may be future variations on this request.

I would suggest the default behavior would be to logically "copy" a manifest from one source to be able to "paste" it into another.

I just developed a powershell script that takes the aka.ms\winget manifests and copies them to a azure storage account. The script also downloads the content and changes the URL to that storage account in the manifest.

Closing issue
