Who is supposed to be willing to pay for this? Is it intended as a replacement for apt on Debian-based systems?<p>It says "apt, yum, and rubygems repositories without the headaches". If I'm already using apt repositories without headaches, is this not for me?
I am using it, works great. I tried a couple other similar services and they were slightly more complicated than I wanted--packagecloud is simple and straightforward. Also I like the clean design of the site.
Aren't most package repositories just static HTTP file servers? I know that apt repositories are. They just rsync directory trees and run Apache with a basic configuration to serve them.<p>If so, it should be pretty straightforward to make an AMI or other machine image that does this (and I'd be surprised if it doesn't exist).
I evaluated Gemfury (<a href="https://gemfury.com/" rel="nofollow">https://gemfury.com/</a>) not too long ago for Localytics, and I'll say the same thing to you that I did them: support Maven repos and we will write large checks.
Neat, on the Perl side of things there's also Stratopan.<p><a href="https://stratopan.com" rel="nofollow">https://stratopan.com</a><p>I'm guessing there are a few other similar platform specific services out there as well.
Looks cool, but it would be really nice to see upfront what types of repositories are supported. It seems that it's currently Debian packages, RPMs, and gems, but I'm not sure because there wasn't a list anywhere.
