Description

Package Requested
  • I would like someone else to build the manifest.
  • I would like help so I can submit the manifest.
  • I have performed a search and couldn't find this package.
  • I have checked that the installer for this package is not a standalone or portable executable or a .zip file
  • I think there is a new version available and I have provided the URL.
Please provide the following information

Publisher: PostGIS Project Steering Committee (PSC)
Publisher Url: https://postgis.net/
Package Name: PostGIS
Description: PostGIS is a spatial database extender for PostgreSQL object-relational database. It adds support for geographic objects allowing location queries to be run in SQL.
Package Version: pg14-3.2.0, pg13-3.2.0, pg12-3.2.0
Installer URL:
https://download.osgeo.org/postgis/windows/pg14/postgis-bundle-pg14x64-setup-3.2.0-2.exe
https://download.osgeo.org/postgis/windows/pg13/postgis-bundle-pg13x64-setup-3.2.0-2.exe
https://download.osgeo.org/postgis/windows/pg12/postgis-bundle-pg12x64-setup-3.2.0-2.exe

This package may not be able to be added because there are several versions active at once. For example, there are different installer URLs for PostgreSQL 12-14 (I don't think it makes sense to include versions of PostgreSQL that aren't already available on Winget) Therefore, there must be different versions for each of these PostgreSQL versions. I think the version format pg14-3.2.0 would be sufficient for this.

Another note is that the currently available installer (3.2.0) is not the latest release (3.2.1) as the installers are not immediately updated after a new version is released.

The dependencies feature of Winget would also be required to make this package automatically install the correct PostgreSQL version, but for now being separate is acceptable as most people will install these two packages separately.

Research direction

No repository file or test is named. Start by reviewing the Winget manifest requirements and the supplied PostGIS installer URLs for PostgreSQL 12, 13, and 14; done means the supported versioned manifests install the stated release and represent the PostgreSQL dependency situation consistently.
