             Summary: Declare the minimum Visual C++ runtime for WinGet and Chocolatey, and drop the dead Chocolatey icon
                 Key: THRIFT-6401
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-6401
             Project: Thrift
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Build Process
            Reporter: Jens Geyer


The Chocolatey review of the {{thrift}} 0.25.0 package flagged two things in {{build/windows/chocolatey/thrift.nuspec.in}}:
* The {{iconUrl}}, {{https://thrift.apache.org/assets/images/thrift-logo.svg}}, returns 404. The project has no square logo to point at instead, so the package goes without an icon, as the 0.12.0 package did.
* The {{vcredist140}} dependency names no version. The released {{thrift.exe}} links the shared Visual C++ runtime, and Microsoft requires the installed redistributable to be at least as new as the build tools the program was built with. {{thrift-0.25.0.exe}} reports linker version 14.51. Without a minimum, any {{vcredist140}} that is already installed satisfies the dependency and is not updated.

The WinGet installer manifest declares {{Microsoft.VCRedist.2015+.x64}} without a minimum as well.

h2. Change
* The Chocolatey package drops {{iconUrl}} and asks for {{vcredist140}} 14.51 or later.
* The WinGet installer manifest asks for {{Microsoft.VCRedist.2015+.x64}} 14.51 or later, through {{MinimumVersion}}.
* The tests check both minimums, that the two agree, and that the Chocolatey package names no icon.
* {{doc/ReleaseManagement.md}} says to raise the minimum when the compiler is built with newer build tools, and {{build/windows/README.md}} mentions it.

The 0.25.0 Chocolatey package is still in moderation, so it can be pushed again with the same version once this is merged.
