Description
Summary of the new feature / enhancement
Not sure of the name yet, maybe DSCResourceManager?
The purpose of this resource is to validate required resources or install resources. Installation needs to be OS specific:
- all platforms use powershellget v3 for PS based resources
- Windows use winget
- Linux use apt/yum/etc...
- macOS use homebrew
Needs to support validation of:
- name
- author
- version (including range using nuget range syntax)
- hash
- signature (potentially GPG type on Linux?)
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
