How is this different or better than Chocolatey: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chocolatey.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;chocolatey.org&#x2F;</a>

Unfortunately another package manager that doesn&#x27;t seem to be interested in the idea of digital signing for security, at least for the install process anyway, which seems to be using the windows equivalent of curl | bash over an unencrypted connection to boot.

Why would I use this over the official package manager coming with Win10 (OneGet)? <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;OneGet&#x2F;oneget" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;OneGet&#x2F;oneget</a><p>Which also integrates with Chocolatery.

Did you know that OCaml was an IDE? :) <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;pbox.me&#x2F;packages&#x2F;ocaml" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;pbox.me&#x2F;packages&#x2F;ocaml</a>

need more differentation to chocolatey. Maybe installer for rapsberry pi. Maybe support docker. Or multiple sequence installer like ninite. Or still same, but give better content curation
