Can the new winget preview to install or update PSModules (non-Microsoft PS-Modules like from gallery)?

Question

In the near future I'm going to pitch to my team to use winget to manage "dotnet-SDK" versions, python versions, powershell, VSCode, and a bunch of open source tools (some running in WSL2).

As part of that can I consolidate winget and powershell Install-Module in powershell 7+? I see they're adding WinGet powershell modules. Are there or any plans to manage professional pwsh modules with winget?

examples of pwsh modules I'd like other developers on my team to install:

• DbaTools
• winget preview

Answer 1

Can you just use Install-Module until Powershell-DSC is ready? With -Force to install newer version if older version is present?

Answer 2

It looks like this is coming with the PowerShell DSC integration for winget, currently in preview, as shown in:

• https://youtu.be/9HlM0xuu01M
  • MSBuild event, session BRK280H | English (US) | Windows
• to enable the DSC preview feature get the JSON from:
  • https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/releases/tag/v1.5.1361-preview
  • (manual step after installing the preview CLI app)
