Please use one of the CTAN mirrors for downloading, and not tug.org.

That is for WIndows, as far as I see.

That is for Linux. Just another package manger, besides there is already
homebrew/linuxbrew, nix, ... and I don't know how many others. I
wouldn't work on minor and hardly known/used package managers..

Every time we change something in the infrastructure (Perl modules) or
installer files, this package is updated.

So a package manager for Windows. Sounds like a good idea, but only if
it also does proper "uninstall" support ;-)
