Update Rhino via winget?

Rhino Rhino for Windows

So about updating Rhino.

Since Windows got the package manager winget, it has become simpler to keep applications up to date, imo. Tools like UniGetUI (GitHub) are great if you don’t want to deal with the console or the Microsoft store. I currently don’t have any software installed that can’t be updated via winget - apart from Rhino.

Is there any chance that Rhino might move to winget in the future?

I don’t think this is a pain point in any way. Updating Rhino is simple the way it is rn. However since so many apps are using winget it begs the question why Rhino shouldn’t follow.

I want to stress again that I don’t see any problems with the current Rhino update process - I’m simply curious.

Hi, hope to get a reply regarding this.

This would keep Rhino up to date even when you don’t use it for some time. Currently, Rhino is only geting updated when you use it. With winget it would be easier for the user to always have Rhino up to date before using it. No more updating when you want to start working with it. After using UniGetUI for some time, I think it is the easiest way to keep software on Windows up to date.

Wouldn’t the start of the development of the next RH version, later this year be a perfect time to move the update process to winget? I hope this can be considert for the future. Any reason why this wouldn’t be ideal for Rhino?

Thanks.
