Windows Package Manager stumbles at the first hurdle

Taking charge Windows enthusiasts were quick to capitalize on the tool’s ease of use to submit all kinds of packages to the repository, resulting in several duplicate ones, as well as many that weren’t properly manifested. Some users also highlighted other shortcomings of the automated submission process. One suggested that the lack of manual screening could allow mischievous users to sneak in a package claiming to install one package, while it actually installed something else. This forced Microsoft to take charge of the automated submission process and introduce manual human moderation to check each and every submission. Windows Package Manager team administrators will begin manually reviewing submissions to reduce the number of duplicate submissions, and manifests with sub-optimal metadata. We have also implemented moderation to help maintain the quality of the community catalog,” said Nelon on GitHub while introducing the change in the package submission process.
