Re: [tor-dev] So Windows is Adding a Package Manager.....

[Damian Johnson <atagar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Welcome Microsoft, to the cutting edge of the 90s! ;P

Kidding aside this could be a great improvement. I'm rooting for them. This is constrained to Windows installers (exe or msi) but hopefully they expand this in the future. Distributing interpreted applications (python, ruby, etc) have always been a PITA. If they make a first rate package manager like apt or yum this could dramatically improve distributability to their platform.

Thanks for pointing this out. We distribute Tor Browser as an exe so that certainly could be a good candidate.

Hi all,

 

So based on this article here,

 

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/

 

Windows is getting a package manager in the near future,  including winget, a Linux like tool that can install and manage packages. With this in might  it be possible to add tor as a manageable package for Windows (for auto upgrades, install via this method, etc.)? 

 

Thx.
