winget packaging (OpenGeos.GeoLibre)

GeoLibre is published to the Windows Package Manager (winget) as OpenGeos.GeoLibre, so Windows users can install it with:

winget install OpenGeos.GeoLibre

The package wraps the official Tauri-built NSIS installer (winget type nullsoft) from the GitHub release, x64, per-user scope (Tauri's NSIS default). winget hosts no binaries itself: it stores YAML manifests in the community repo microsoft/winget-pkgs and downloads the installer from the release URL.

Files

The three manifests here are reference copies of what is submitted to winget-pkgs (under manifests/o/OpenGeos/GeoLibre/<version>/), validated against the v1.6.0 JSON schemas:

• OpenGeos.GeoLibre.yaml (version manifest)
• OpenGeos.GeoLibre.installer.yaml (installer: URL, sha256, nullsoft, x64)
• OpenGeos.GeoLibre.locale.en-US.yaml (name, publisher, description, license)

One-time setup (maintainer)

The release workflow submits new versions automatically with winget-releaser (which uses komac). It needs:

1. A fork of microsoft/winget-pkgs under your account (giswqs/winget-pkgs).
2. A classic Personal Access Token with the public_repo scope, added as the repo secret WINGET_TOKEN (Settings -> Secrets and variables -> Actions). The action uses it to push to your fork and open the PR to winget-pkgs. Without the secret the winget job skips itself, so forks are unaffected.

The very first submission (a new package) is done manually; subsequent versions are automated by the winget job.

How CI keeps it current

On every published, non-prerelease release, the isolated winget job in .github/workflows/release.yml runs winget-releaser, which downloads the release's *_x64-setup.exe, regenerates the manifests for the new version, and opens a PR to microsoft/winget-pkgs. The job is continue-on-error and independent of the asset build and the other publish targets.

Maintenance notes

• Installer: the installers-regex (_x64-setup\.exe$) selects the NSIS setup. To switch to the MSI, change the regex and set InstallerType: wix.
• Scope: user reflects Tauri's NSIS default (currentUser). If a future build switches to per-machine, update Scope to machine.
• Schema: validate edits with the official schemas, e.g. winget validate --manifest <dir> on Windows, or against https://aka.ms/winget-manifest.installer.1.6.0.schema.json.
