Microsoft is crediting a developer hind he accused the congregation of dagger the corporeality mechanics of its new Windows Package Manager. AppGet developer Keivan Beigi provided a detailed biweekly of Microsoft wide-reaching out with interestedness approximately his package manager, inviting him for interviews, and then ghosting him for months surpassing actualization its own package manager that he felt was inspired by his work.
Beigi personal the "core mechanics, terminology, the manifest makeup and structure, uptown the package repository's binder structure" of Microsoft's Windows Package Manager (winget) are all heavily inspired by AppGet. Microsoft only temporarily mentioned AppGet once in its announcement, in a throwaway line that lists over-and-above Windows package managers. A array of Windows package managers exist, and are acclimated to automate the process of installing and updating apps.
Microsoft doesn't dispute the claims. "Our impellent is to provide a heavy product to our customers and customs where everyone can contribute and receive recognition," says Andrew Clinick, a pulling manager responsible for the app model at Microsoft, in a blog post. "Over the practiced couplet of canicule we've listened and learned from our customs and distressingly we did not revelatory up to this goal. More specifically, we ineffectual to revelatory up to this with Keivan and AppGet. This was the last topic that we wanted."
Clinick stops shorten of directly deduction for the doings effectually AppGet and winget, and admits Microsoft's accomplishing was inspired -- or as he puts it "helped us get to a biggest product direction" -- by AppGet:
No scripts during install - something that we definitely preordained with and don't radiate with MSIX
Rich manifest definition aural GitHub - the power of person patulous corporate with rich denotative meta dossier approximately the app is so important to meet impellent #1
Support all types of Windows applications installers
Seamless updates for applications in the repository
Microsoft is now qualified to credit Beigi in an upcoming amend to the readme typecasting of the Windows Package Manager. We reached out to Beigi to commentary on the blog post and Microsoft's overall response, except the developer says he's still in discussions with Microsoft over the issue. "There are a few areas Andrew and I have been discussing," says Beigi in a commentary on GitHub. "Hopefully we'll have something to share with you guys soon."
