[tor-dev] So Windows is Adding a Package Manager.....

[Damian Johnson]

Welcome Microsoft, to the cutting edge of the 90s! ;P

Kidding aside this could be a great improvement. I'm rooting for them. This
is constrained to Windows installers (exe or msi) but hopefully they expand
this in the future. Distributing interpreted applications (python, ruby,
etc) have always been a PITA. If they make a first rate package manager
like apt or yum this could dramatically improve distributability to their
platform.

Thanks for pointing this out. We distribute Tor Browser as an exe so that
certainly could be a good candidate.
