Using a private repository?

[walteij]

Hey, we have a custom Winget repository with some in house applications. I have added the repository to my system and am trying to get Wintuner to create a package, the application can be found in the custom repo, but New-WtWingetPackage is unable to find it (example is a simple GPS and topography application):

PS C:\> winget search Ozi.explorer
Name       Id      Version Source
------------------------------------
Notepad ++ Notepad 8.7.5   WinGetty
PS C:\> New-WtWingetPackage -PackageId Ozi.Explorer -PackageFolder C:\REPOS\WingetPackages\
INFO: [WingetRepository] Loading package index from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/svrooij/winget-pkgs-index/main/index.json
INFO: [WingetRepository] Saving package index to cache at C:\%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\WingetCommunityRepo\index.json
WARNING: Package  not found

Is there a way to have Wintuner use my own repository ?

To support cloud based build scenarios, I’ve been trying to completely remove the dependency upon (the win32 only) Winget app. Which is why the app does no longer use the app to get details about packages.

I never worked with a private repo, but I guess it is just a rest api with all the needed details? If you’re willing (and able) to share details about this custom repo I might be able to connect WinTuner to it directly.

I have an even better idea, I'll just give you access to our playground repo ;)
Just let me know where I can send details for the repo.

It is a Wingetty container.
