Have lektor installed via chocolatey

Chocolatey is a great package manager for windows. A simple command such as choco install xxx will install the necessary software and update system paths automatically.

It would be great to have lektor installed via chocolatey! I do understand the installation isn’t exactly an issue right now, but it would be nice to have it this way.

• https://chocolatey.org/
• https://chocolatey.org/docs/create-packages

I’d be interested in implementing this.

I think this is a great idea. If you start implementing this think of the following as requirements:

• The package build scripts must be part of this repository
• There must be a GitHub CI action that builds the package and makes it available as an artifact
• There must be a GitHub CI action that tries to install the package from the previous step (and run something like lektor --version to check that it works)
• There must be a GitHub CI action that publishes the updated package on release tags

I think these steps are very important as we would not want to make these packages available and then drop support because they decay over time.

I think we should also make the package depend on ImageMagick and ffmpeg to make sure that the install has access to all functionality by default.
