Its package-nerd niche is the automation layer around WinGet packaging: it analyzes installer formats, generates manifest data, and can submit pull requests rather than asking maintainers to hand-edit YAML. ### Project history The GitHub repository was created on 2022-11-01 and describes Komac as the Community Manifest Creator for WinGet. Public releases began with a nightly release on 2023-01-28 and a v1.0.0 release on 2023-02-10. ### Adoption history Komac grew around the operational pain of maintaining winget-pkgs manifests. Its README positions it against WingetCreate and YamlCreate, emphasizing cross-platform operation, deeper installer analysis, release-note retrieval, and working without a local winget-pkgs clone. ### How it is used Users run commands such as `komac new`, `komac update`, `komac remove`, and `komac sync` to create manifests, add package versions, remove versions, or synchronize a fork of winget-pkgs. The README also documents GitHub token setup for submitting pull requests to winget-pkgs. ### Why package nerds care Komac matters to package maintainers because it turns Windows package manifest work into a reproducible CLI flow, including installer introspection for formats such as Inno Setup, NSIS, MSI, Burn, and MSIX. ### Timeline - 2022-11-01: GitHub repository created. - 2023-01-28: Nightly release published. - 2023-02-10: v1.0.0 release published. ### Related projects - Komac is related to Microsoft's winget-pkgs repository, WingetCreate, YamlCreate, WinGet Releaser, and GitHub Actions that call Komac during release publishing. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal. - **Geiger risk:** orange / medium - infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** komac - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Other Package-Manager Records - Nix - komac: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/ko/komac/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Scoop - extras/komac: normalized package name match | Scoop official bucket manifest trees: bucket/komac.json from https://api.github.com/repos/ScoopInstaller/Extras/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - winget - RussellBanks.Komac: normalized package name match | Windows Package Manager source index: RussellBanks.Komac from https://cdn.winget.microsoft.com/cache/source.msix ## Related links - [Source-control packages](https://pkg.so/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Secret-risk packages](https://pkg.so/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://pkg.so/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://pkg.so/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [pkgconf](https://pkg.so/brew/pkgconf/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [rust](https://pkg.so/brew/rust/) - Build dependency declared by Homebrew. - [pnpm](https://pkg.so/brew/pnpm/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, package-management. - [pipx](https://pkg.so/brew/pipx/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, package-management. - [mint](https://pkg.so/brew/mint/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, package-management. - [composer](https://pkg.so/brew/composer/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, package-management. - [poetry](https://pkg.so/brew/poetry/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, package-management. - [nuget](https://pkg.so/brew/nuget/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, package-management. - [cask](https://pkg.so/brew/cask/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, package-management. - [conan](https://pkg.so/brew/conan/) - Shares pkgdb curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, package-management. - [corepack](https://pkg.so/brew/corepack/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
