Winget Package Index
When I (Stephan) started with WinTuner it was working only on Windows. One of the reason was that it used to start a new Process that called WinGet to load the latest version of a specific package.
Then came the idea to parse the package file and to pre-generate a winget packages index.
Index in WinTuner
You don't have to do anything to start using this package index. It's used automatically because it's way faster then starting a separate process.
This package index made WinTuner less dependend upon Windows.
Index files
You can use the index in your own application, by using any of these sources:
| Kind | Online link | Download URL |
|---|---|---|
| CSV | index.csv | https://github.com/svrooij/winget-pkgs-index/raw/main/index.csv |
| JSON | index.json | https://github.com/svrooij/winget-pkgs-index/raw/main/index.json |
Refreshing the Index
The open-source index files are periodicly updated by this GitHub Action. The current refresh schedule is: cron: '0 */6 * * *'
