Aptivi Choco Pack is now Aptivi Packaging

When we started making packages for our applications, we resorted to making Chocolatey packaging for our applications, such as Nitrocid and BassBoom. This was made in an effort to make installation of our applications easier and simpler, complete with documentation.

We have earlier introduced WinGet packaging for our applications, such as Nitrocid and BassBoom earlier this year to provide an easy way to install them, knowing that WinGet is shipped with Windows 11 as a built-in system component.

Now, we are very excited to announce that the Choco Pack organization on GItHub has been renamed to Aptivi Packaging!

This was done to better reflect its purpose as a repository for our packaging efforts for our applications, with more to come. Right now, you can access this organization to view two repositories: WinGet and Chocolatey metadata packages.

Fixing WinGetCreate fork synchronization issue when submitting a WinGet manifest

WinGet is a package manager that is made by Microsoft for modern Windows systems. It simplifies application installation by downloading it from official sources without having to manually search the web. There are also helpers that make installation using WinGet much easier, such as UniGetUI.

When you are an application developer and you are submitting WinGet manifests using WinGetCreate, it uses the GitHub API to fork the winget-pkgs repository to your GitHub account to make submission faster. However, one day, you might run into this error message when you’re trying to submit a manifest:

This message means that your fork has become so outdated that WinGetCreate couldn’t safely submit your manifest to create a pull requests for inclusion to the WinGet repository. This is clearly indicated in the message: The forked repository could not be synced with the upstream commits. Sync your fork manually and try again.

In order to fix this, you’ll have to manually synchronize your fork. Follow the below steps:

If you are still experiencing failures when pushing manifests to WinGet’s official repository using WinGetCreate, let us know!

If you are experiencing fork sync issues with WinGetCreate, synchronize your fork of winget-pkgs to fix them!
