I chose the MSVC version because it merely seemed most appropriate for WinGet. I've no idea whether the GNU or MSVC version is preferable.

Thanks for making this! Since you asked for feedback, I only have one small suggestion: uutils is usually not capitalized. What else do you need feedback on?

@tertsdiepraam and @sylvestre, WinGet doesn't use any of the standard UNIX naming schemes. It uses CamelCase reverse DNS with a mandatory publisher as its parent.

It uses CamelCase reverse DNS with a mandatory publisher as its parent.

Is it due to winget's doc/spec?

When I was drafting uutils.coreutils{,.installer,.locale.en-US}.yaml in uutils/coreutils#4291 (comment), I chose uutils.coreutils because I noticed https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/tree/master/manifests/u/uxmal/reko, whose ID is fully lower case, and can be installed by winget install -e --id uxmal.reko as decribed in https://winget.run/pkg/uxmal/reko.

Disclaimer: I don't know what uxmal.reko really is. It's an arbitrary example.

FYI, https://github.com/ScoopInstaller/Main/blob/27e33d927da2fe17b8c38ff840682665154fb831/bucket/uutils-coreutils.json#L8 also chooses MSVC.

I can't say, @YDX-2147483647. I'd never seen an exception after a good few years of using it and helping to publish manifests, so although I might once have been told so or read it, it was probably more likely an assertion at best. We can always change the manifest later, although that might cause issues for users.

Have you been able to find anything relevant? https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/package-manager/configuration/create#example-winget-configuration-file:~:text=in%20this%20section.-,resource,-%3A%20Both%20the%20%22Assertions doesn't appear to be of much use.

The only thing I find is https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs/blob/f508b5d5e52df0b055e95e8ddc4fa1c01135b7fa/doc/manifest/schema/1.5.0/installer.md?plain=1#L152C25-L152C36

This key is the unique identifier for a given package. This value is generally in the form of Publisher.Package. It is case sensitive, and this value must match the folder structure under the partition directory in GitHub.

I have not inspect any winget manifest before, so let's take your choice.

Can you update this to v0.0.26?

@Dragon1573 is that something you could help with? thanks
