Using the Applications Database as a Software Repository for Binary Artifacts

AppDB provides a management component for the Community repository, providing the ability to store multiple source and binary versions of software registered in the catalog, which are made available through the EGI Software Repository.

The Community repository supports:

  • versioning of software repositories (series / releases)
  • unlimited number of repositories per registered software
  • generic tarballs, RPM & DEB (32bit/64bit) binaries
  • YUM & APT repositories for automated distribution
  • multiple flavor / operating system combinations
  • simplified, web-based, process for uploading binary artifacts
