Show HN: PkgHub.io - Simple Ubuntu Package Hosting

Meanwhile, the best package building and hosting site that no one has ever heard of: <a href="http://openbuildservice.org/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;openbuildservice.org&#x2F;</a> <a href="https://build.opensuse.org/" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;build.opensuse.org&#x2F;</a><p>supports all major distros: openSUSE, Fedora, Debian-based, even Arch.

This system was built by @supersheep and @lloydpick (me) in 48 hours as part of the <a href="http://railsrumble.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;railsrumble.com</a> competition, so if you encounter a bug please just let us know.

You should add a pricing page ASAP :D because this &quot;seems&quot; way simpler than good old launchpad

&quot;Ubuntu&quot; packages? The .deb format is a format used by <i>all</i> Debian-based GNU&#x2F;Linux distributions.

This link throws a 502: <a href="https://pkghub.io/users/andytinycat/projects/puppet-omnibus/packages/puppet-omnibus-precise-3-2-4-f3d3" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;pkghub.io&#x2F;users&#x2F;andytinycat&#x2F;projects&#x2F;puppet-omnibus&#x2F;...</a>

One killer feature would be to have a direct download link to each package. Installing outside the package manager isn&#x27;t something you should do, but I&#x27;ve had to a few times (making netcat happy, etc).

This could be waaay better than Launchpad. And much nicer looking, too.

Can&#x27;t I just use a simple S3 bucket to host a repository?

Love the simplicity of the design
