What about IPFS? That project is getting some good traction and is already in the process of forming a working group to work on package manager integrations. This seems like a match made in heaven. At that point, the only service you'd need to worry about hosting is a pseudo-DNS service that transforms |

@mmmeff thanks a lot! Yeah, I was previously employed by Protocol Labs who funds the development of IPFS and have seen the Package Manager effort. I don't think the actual hosting of the registry should be anywhere near a for-profit company, the whole effort behind Open-Registry is there to distance important open source infrastructure from for-profit companies. I would be very happy if the folks working on the Package Manger over at Protocol Labs wants to collaborate on Open-Registry, but it wouldn't work the other way around. Open-Registry already uses IPFS as a cache and exposes the information about the root-hash of the cache. The federation will most certainly use IPFS unless we encounter any breaking bugs/performance issues. |
