Package yggdrasil for Winget

[Mikaela]

Winget is Microsoft's own package manager under development, see the link for instructions getting the preview.

• Winget package repository: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs

Loosely related to https://github.com/yggdrasil-network/yggdrasil-go/issues/611 in case Chocolatey itself gets packaged (https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/pull/367).

i didn't know winget did package management yet, last i checked it was just an exe downloader with no ability to manage (remove, depend, upgrade, migrate, etc) packages.

Sadly that is still the case, for now. https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/issues/223

Maybe it's time to revisit this. Winget is still just a wrapper for installer EXEs and MSIs, but upgrades and removals seem to work pretty well now. Well enough that I'm now using winget for almost everything that I used to need chocolatey for.

Winget has recently become very strong and has become the main way for me to work with software, even on servers, please add it to the repository.

Anyone who wants to volunteer to support the Windows package would be welcome to do so.

[pomazanbohdan]

Yes, but it would be good if it was done by the community yggdrasil and not by a third party, so as not to lose control and automate it later.

Ok, why not https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/pull/135597

Now Yggdrasil can be installed on Windows with just one line: winget install YggdrasilNetwork.Yggdrasil So I think we can close this issue and also update installation instructions.
