Similar to #2503 where install-args are included in export-file, I would like to have pinned-state included in export.
I'm aware that pinned state isn't known at install time, but it would be helpful to get the same state on a new computer as before.

For now I'm helping myself without "choco export" (I've using this longer than "choco export" exists):

(choco pin -y |%{$_ -replace '(.+?)|(.+)','choco install $1 --version $2'} | select -Skip 1) >C:\Backup\choco.install.ps1
(choco pin -y |%{$_ -replace '(.+?)|.+','choco pin add -n=''$1'''} | select -Skip 1)>>C:\Backup\choco.install.ps1
"choco install -y",[string]::Join(" ", (clist -l -r |%{$_ -replace '(.+?)|.+','$1'} | select)) -join " " >>C:\Backup\choco.install.ps1

  • first line writes install command for all pinned packages
  • second line writes a "pin" for all pinned packages
  • third line writes rest of packages
  • On new computer I just have to execute C:\Backup\choco.install.ps1 (I don't have special install arguments, pins where more important to me)

Would be nice if choco implements an export fully (with pins).
Thanks!

To implement this, it will require that #798 is completed first, as that will add the ability to pin a package during install. And basing this on #2503 might be ideal, as there is likely some shared code between these two.

One item for discussion is whether the pin status should be included in --include-remembered-arguments, or if a separate argument (e.g. --include-pins) should be added.

This is an interesting question. Since if #798 is implemented, this would mean that a pinned package can be done by both an argument, and as a dedicated command. My gut says that this information would be included by default with the --include-remembered-arguments option, but perhaps a number option would be included to --exclude-pins.

Thoughts?

Another option would be to always include it with the --include-remembered-arguments and have an option when installing, like so: choco install packages.config --ignore-pins

Thoughts?

I wouldn't have any issues with that on my end. I can see situations where pins might specifically want to be excluded, having a --exclude-pins would work for that. So either that, or my suggestion of a --include-pins would work, and don't really have strong feelings either way.

and have an option when installing, like so: choco install packages.config --ignore-pins

I don't thing this is ideal, at least not as the only option. It could work code wise, I actually have a PR in for that exact flag for the upgrade command.

My ideal endgame for the packages.config is that I can run choco install packages.config, and all the options I need are included inside the file. It is for the same reason I like docker-compose rather than using docker directly most the time. I can stick the information about how I am running the container into docker-compose.yml file, then run docker-compose up to start it up, and the file can get backed up, no need to remember or separately document what options I ran it with.

So having a way to configure if I want the pins exported is ideal, because then upon reinstall, there is not a need to remember to specify another command line argument, all the information about what options I want to use is already included in the file.
