Hello!
The curl project received the suggestion to package the official curl
binary we produce for Windows in a signed installer. In the long term
this package could be used by Microsoft to ship our official curl binary
instead of a custom build which lacks features and stays behind in terms
of changes and fixes.
If the project is already tooled to create .msi installers, then its
easy, just by adding an extra step you create the MSIX from the MSI
(using MS provided tools).
If you want to help out making this happen, we'll appreciate your help
as this project is right now pretty much stallling.
I have experience with packaging my application. Started with open
source tools, but ended with a commercial tool made free to open sourced
projects.
More details here:
https://github.com/curl/curl/wiki/Packaging-for-Windows
Seems a complete description, and a good plan to follow.
The signing key used to be free to open source projects, haven't checked
but myself ended paying a little for one (special price for OSS).
