Abstract
YOURI stands for "Youri Offers an Upload & Repository Infrastucture". It aims to build tools making management of a coherent set of packages easier. Running a package distribution project involves a lot of tasks: allow individual maintainers to upload packages in a central repository create packages index for packages managers such as urpmi or yum synchronise developement resources such as CVS or bugzilla advertise new packages sign packages numerically check individual packages consistency check global repository consistency etc... The quick'n'dirty approach of using a pile of dedicated shell scripts, with hardcoded distributer-specific policies, generally results quickly in a maintainance nightmare for admins and a discrepancy nightmare for users. YOURI aims to leverage those issues by providing a generic package management framework, focused on code reusability and modularity.
