AetherOS Package Repository

This repository hosts package artifacts built and maintained by a single developer for controlled use across a small, well-defined set of Linux distributions.

The structure and scope are intentional. This is not a general-purpose public repository.

Scope & Philosophy

This repository supports:

• Stable distributions
  • Debian (stable)
  • Fedora (stable)
• Rolling distributions
  • Arch Linux
  • openSUSE Tumbleweed
• Flatpak as the universal, cross-distro binary format

Explicitly out of scope:

• Testing / unstable channels
• Multiple components (contrib, non-free, etc.)
• AppImage
• User-facing onboarding or mirrors
• Broad compatibility guarantees

The guiding principle:

Flatpak is the universal binary channel.
RPM / DEB / Arch packages are native integrations when they matter.

Directory Details

gpg/

Contains public signing keys used for:

• RPM repositories
• Debian repository
• Flatpak repository signing

aetheros.pub is the single trust root.

aqua/

Fedora stable RPM repository.

• Standard RPMS/ and repodata/ layout
• Architectures split by directory
• Metadata generated with Fedora tooling

ignis/

openSUSE Tumbleweed RPM repository.

• Rolling-release target
• Upstream-compatible RPM layout

terra/

Debian stable APT repository.

• Standard pool/ and dists/ layout
• binary-amd64 and binary-arm64
• Controlled, minimal usage

aer/

Arch Linux repository.

• Flat package layout
• repo-add generated metadata
• Rolling-release target

flatpak/

Flatpak OSTree repository.

• Served directly over HTTP
• Universal, cross-distro binary channel
• Standard Flatpak tooling

Design Notes

• Native package formats are used only when they add value
• Flatpak is preferred for cross-distro consistency
• The structure favors:
  • clarity over abstraction
  • correctness over flexibility
  • maintainability over scale

If this repository grows, it will do so without changing these principles.
