    Looked into this? Says it can do contacts, and documents. Surprised it doesn't say calendar. You can request it as a new app though. http://www.nabber.org/projects/cloudexport/

    ... Contrast with the Windows/Mac world. Each 3rd party application, game, utility, etc. has to have it's own mechanism to find out if it has been updated, code to bug you to update, etc. ... Hopefully, this will change in Windows as well. There have been a few failed attempts before however, there's Appupdater that seems to be going in the right direction. Also Apache is using Maven2 and Ivy to "document" their projects. This should make it easier to install these projects (on any platform).

    Disclaimer: I've had to look these things up lately but I'm no expert on the subject.

  5. Try Appupdater on Windows by ant_tmwx · · Score: 1 · on Dangerous Java Flaw Threatens 'Virtually Everything'

    Might want to check out Appupdater. It 's like apt-get or yum but on Windows, or Windows Update but for all the random apps on your computer. Will keep them up to date and using the latest versions with security fixes, and can be run on a corporate network.

  6. Re:There may be an existing solution ... by Braino420 · · Score: 1 · on A Windows-Based Packaging Mechanism

    There is also appupdater, along with quite a few others already mentioned (winget). Most of the ones I have looked at have room for improvement.

    I'm having a very hard time understanding the last sentence about the registry... It leaves me with the idea that the plan is to re-package all of these different Windows apps; Why would you do that when all of these Windows apps already come with their own custom installers/uninstallers and stuff? Sounds like a real nightmare. To me, the advantage of bringing a package management system to Windows would be to easily install/update apps from one central location. What am I missing?

    "1. Cross Platform (particularly MS Windows) - Applications such as Mozilla and OpenOffice show users exactly what Free Software is capable of. This also makes the transition between operating systems less painful."
