Novus - A fast and futuristic rust-based package manager for Windows that is 3-10x faster than Chocolatey.

• novus-packages

  5 6 8.0 Rust
  

One other recommendation, seeing as the package manifest repo on github seems to use json files, it could be useful to cooperate with the Bucket maintainers for scoop (lukesampson and Ash258 are the most active in that front, at least). They already have rather large repos, and some good tooling for tracking (and in some cases verifying them):

• semver

  720 7,020 2.3

  Semantic Versioning Specification

  

The current release is called 1.0.0, which normally is used for stable release (Semantic versioning). You may consider changing this to avoid confusions.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com sponsored

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• novus

  18 208 0.0 Rust

  A blazingly fast and efficient package manager for windows.

  

That's a great suggestion. I have created an issue for this here and will definitely try to implement this as soon as I can in the next release.

• lessmsi

  3 1,210 0.0 C#

  A tool to view and extract the contents of an Windows Installer (.msi) file.

Just an FYI, the lessmsi project may be worth a look for those trickier installers; its been fairly reliable in my experience! It can be used to extract the msi like you would a zip

• scoop-directory

  2 826 9.5 Python

  A searchable directory of buckets for the scoop package manager for Windows

• Scoop

  252 19,855 8.7 PowerShell

  A command-line installer for Windows.

  

At least if the manifest format were standardized, it could help reduce work for making new "repos". Since Scoop uses the The Unlicense, there shouldn't be issues collaborating code-wise.
