i am using wingetui to update apps. currently winget provides Bostrot.WSLManager v1.8.5 which was released back in June. Is the update in winget repo done automatically or you upload it manually? |

It is uploaded manually, as I must wait for Microsoft to sign those msix packages. |

what about publishing the self signed one (portable zip) instead, maybe under a different package ID such as Bostrot.WSLManger.portable? if winget doesn't allow it, chocolatey should do (as seen similar portable apps in their repo - eg. rbtray app). Portable apps normally go under C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib As an example, I am currently using WingetUI to update my apps, which is quite great and makes use of multiple package managers. However from all the apps I use, your app is the only one outdated and unable to udpate it using wingetui. |

Hmm, weird because I know there is an "unofficial" one that gets updated via a script for Chocolatey: https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/wsl2-distro-manager |
