Debian repository #8
Description
We are increasingly using .deb as package format, some of them are custom built for our armhf boards. Now they are published to GitHub Releases and installed via wget then dpkg -i, but it'd be nice to have features like dependency resolution via apt-get and have a central URL to get signed software.
I have not hosted a public debian repo, but here are some resources on a quick search:
- https://wiki.debian.org/DebianRepository/Setup
- https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-reprepro-for-a-secure-package-repository-on-ubuntu-14-04
- https://askubuntu.com/questions/529/how-to-set-up-an-apt-repository/89698#89698
- https://www.aptly.info
In the future we can:
- Mirror repositories and make accessible over the meshnet (cjdns, yggdrasil, etc.)
- Make available over p2p fs such as ipfs
