Hi, I think hosting public software repository mirrors such as pip-mirror or apt-mirror is a good start for IPFS. How can we make this possiable?

Check this discussion here! [image] Ubuntu archive on top of IPFS Ecosystem Hello! Last week on the Costa Rican hackerspace we started a project to serve the ubuntu archive on top of IPFS. The idea is that it should be faster to download deb packages from an IPFS node th…

I am very interested in a RPM mirror, for distributions that use RPM repositories for software management. Please consider making both a rpm and deb repository for Linux users who want to maintain the up-to-date daemon system-wide.

Both pip, rpm and deb is bad for deduplication. Git/pijul and IPFS should get objects inside compressed files and other binaries. Similar thing were proposed by @jbnet here: Ubuntu archive on top of IPFS

@kehao95 There is a project for implementing pip packages on IPFS: Dpip - Python Package Index (pypi.org) on IPFS

There’s also NPM-on-IPFS and GX package manager . But package managers will not work feasibly without deduplication. That’s why I propose Common Bytes: (draft) Common Bytes - standard for data deduplication

Hello everybody. I think any Linux package management system could use IPFS. RPM and DEB will cover most of distributions out there. With ArchLinux and Alpine being popular as well - there is lot of potential. Also Docker or Vagrant images could be shared this way. But obviously we have languag…

And there work being done to put Nix on IPFS too. [image] Nix × IPFS - Milestone 1 Blog Posts by John Ericson on 2020-09-08 Obsidian Systems is adding support for IPFS to Nix so that build products can be persisted to and fetched from IPFS. This adds resiliency and makes …

I wonder if ipfs-pack could be used as (temporary ?) repository solution. It has ‘serve’ command so it could be used for backward compatibility when used as web server. And maybe the ‘bag’ or ‘car’ command could be used for rsync? If I understand correctly, bag format could be split to smaller ch…

I think that this is a good and important idea. Several people at ArchLinux are interested and have implemented this idea. I guess that an implementation of IPFS in C or C++ would insentivise the team members to incorporate pacman package manager with IPFS for sooner than later. New Distributed …
