Description

A lot of organizations are using Chocolatey to manage packages installed on a batch of hosts. However, the deprecated unofficial chocolatey package for libre-hardware-monitor stalls at v 0.8.5. It would help to have official choco packages for libre-hardware-monitor so that orgs would not be forced to rely on the older open-hardware-monitor - for which an official choco package exists.

Since Github CI auto builds and packs exe and lib in a zip archive every new release, it seems like it should be straightforward, even directly using github actions or auto-updated module. It might help to follow the quickstart-guide with automatic packages - the recommended way is to use Chocolatey automatic updater module

Related : #321 which was closed without pushing a choco package.

Start by reviewing the existing GitHub CI workflow that builds and packages the EXE and library ZIP archives. Then follow the linked Chocolatey quickstart and automatic-packages guidance, including the AU module option. Done means an official Libre Hardware Monitor Chocolatey package is published and can track new releases.
