Description of the new feature / enhancement
#1155
Hi.
I often need to check if a specific package version is installed, or what version of a specific package is installed.
Currently I have to parse text output, which is not fun, given the variable column names/widths etc.
Proposal: Add a --version argument to the list command similar to search / install / uninstall. Only show matches to that version.
Optionally --version-min and -- version-max and differentiation between "not installed" and "wrong version"
Thanks!
Proposed technical implementation details
winget list <query> [--version <string>]
Only return packages if matching the version
Optional:
winget list <query> [--version-min <string1>] [--version-max <string2>]
Only show if installed version >= min version and/or <= max-version (should support one argument or both together)
Alphanumeric Dot-Version string comparison
Not compatible with --version. Alternatively, make --version support '>', '<', '>=', '<=' and some character for "in between" that is not usually used in versions ('*','~', '<>' etc.) Ex:
--version '<=1.2.3a'
or--version '1.2.6<>1.3.9a'
Optional: different messages / exit codes for "no package" vs "different version is present"
