Request: Remove RequireExplicitUpgrade from winget package

Hi,

I use winget to keep my Windows apps updated. When I run "winget upgrade --all", Zotero is always excluded and shows this message:

"The following packages have an upgrade available, but require explicit targeting for upgrade:
Zotero DigitalScholar.Zotero 8.0.1 8.0.2 winget"

This happens because the winget manifest has "RequireExplicitUpgrade: true" set. I have to run a separate command every time:

winget upgrade --id DigitalScholar.Zotero

Would it be possible to remove this flag? If there's a specific reason for this restriction, I'd be curious to know.

Thanks!
  • This would be very nice, hopefully the Zotero team would notice this.
  • dstillman Zotero Team
    Whatever this is, we don't have anything to do with it. We distribute Zotero from the download page on this site.
  • Thanks @dstillman for clarifying. It looks like the winget manifest for Zotero is community-maintained in the microsoft/winget-pkgs GitHub repository
