Description

Summary

winget or the Window Package Manager is now shipping with windows by default. Since focalboard is already listed with the microsoft store, I believe the winget package file can reuse that as a source. Mattermost desktop seems to have already done this.

How important this is to me and why

Importance: Low

Use cases:

  1. Know that you're installing it from the official namespaced source
  2. install or upgrade to specific versions
  3. list in import/export bulk install lists

Additional context/similar features

https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/tree/master/manifests/m/Mattermost/MattermostDesktop

For pre-release versions, I've seen other apps listed on the winget default source use a separate channel/id.

Contributor guide
