Description (Last modified by buckley)

It would be really cool if we could provide an RPM/deb repository of HEP code binaries and sources, for use by e.g. the yum packaging tool. Herwig are already thinking of doing this with their code: we can work with them to make the repository part of HepForge.

  • summary changed from Provide RPM repository for HepForge code to Provide package repository for HepForge code.

Both RPM and Deb aren't really set up for non-root usage: we want something simpler which will just manage dependencies and download the appropriate source. I guess this is what horrid hacks like CMT do, but they are pretty nasty.

Maybe Portage is viable: http://gentoo-portage.com/

David, what was your conclusion?
