[sword-devel] Fwd: [sword-support] Please add Sword Project to Winget on Windows

[Greg Hellings]

winget is pretty great. It works about like you'd expect from any other
package manager. And it has a very large collection of libraries and
software already available for it. As for how to add to it, I haven't the
slightest idea as creating packages for Windows is not a target I've
undertaken.
