Michele LocatiWindowsversion 1.0+1.19, 10 March 2026
gettext + iconv is in the PatchBee catalog as a Windows app from Michele Locati, synced from the Windows Package Manager community repository (winget). Pick it in the App Library and PatchBee writes the deployment plan below, builds the package, publishes it to your Intune tenant and assigns it to the Entra groups you choose. New versions then follow through your update rings.
The plan PatchBee writes

Installers in version 1.0+1.19
| Architecture | Type | Scope | Hash |
|---|---|---|---|
| x86 (32-bit) | Inno Setup | per user | SHA-256 published |
| x86 (32-bit) | Inno Setup | per machine | SHA-256 published |
| x64 | Inno Setup | per user | SHA-256 published |
| x64 | Inno Setup | per machine | SHA-256 published |
PatchBee downloads the installer from the publisher's own URL and verifies its SHA-256 against the catalog before packaging. "None published" means the source carries no hash for this download, so that check has nothing to compare against; packaging still works.

About gettext + iconv

The GNU gettext tools include the following command-line utilities used for managing translation files and generating localized resources:
- gettext: display native language translation of a textual message
- msgattrib: filters the messages of a translation catalog according to their attributes, and manipulates the attributes
- msgcat: concatenates and merges the specified PO files
- msgcmp: compare two Uniforum style .po files to check that both contain the same set of msgid strings

How this becomes an app in your tenant
Sign in with your Microsoft work account and connect your Intune tenant once. Find gettext + iconv in the App Library, open its plan (the commands, detection rule and requirements above, editable) and publish: PatchBee downloads and verifies the installer, builds the package, creates the Intune app and assigns your groups. When Michele Locati ships a new version, PatchBee detects it and rolls it out through your rings, with supersedence and rollback.

Catalog data as of 11 October 2026, from the Windows Package Manager community repository (winget). The product re-reads the source every night and plans against the live catalog, so the version here may already be one behind. Nothing is published to a tenant without an administrator approving the plan.
