0repo

0repo provides an easy and reliable way to maintain a repository of 0install software for others to use.

Name 0repo
Maintainer Thomas Leonard
License GNU Lesser General Public License
SCM GIT repository

Figure 1 shows a simple deployment where a single developer provides a set of packages using 0install. The developer runs 0repo to create a repository on their local machine and rsyncs the generated files to their static web hosting. To make a new release, the developer uses tools such as 0template or 0release to create a new release, which 0repo then adds to the repository.

Single-developer 0repo deployment

0repo is new and a little experimental, but feedback is welcome! We hope soon to support multi-developer deployments, where 0repo runs on a server and accepts contributions from a set of developers (as shown in figure 2).
