Use WinGet Releaser for automated releases to winget-pkgs

[russellbanks]

WinGet Releaser is a workflow that automatically creates manfiests for winget-pkgs and creates a PR for it. It would look a bit like this:

name: Publish to WinGet
on:
  release:
    types: [released]

jobs:
  publish:
    runs-on: windows-latest
    steps:
      - uses: vedantmgoyal2009/winget-releaser@v1
        with:
          identifier: RStudio.quarto
          token: ${{ secrets.WINGET_TOKEN }}

Thanks for the feedback @russellbanks .

Releases for package manager are made from another repo https://github.com/quarto-dev/quarto-release-bundles

This is covered by quarto-dev/quarto-release-bundles#1 but had limitation at the time because of the Quarto manifest using two scope with same url

Maybe issue is solved with YamlCreate now, I'll have a look for 1.3 release.

Note also that we currently not publishing every release on Winget, mostly our last officially released stable version and not the pre-release. Otherwise there would be too much versions to publish.

I'll close this issue but you can contribute and follow in the other repo.

Thank you !
