https://apps.0install.net/ provides Zero Install feeds for apps where the upstream authors do not provide feeds of their own. It also serves as a repository for basic infrastructure components such as libraries and runtime environments.
If you wish to see a new app, tool or library added to this repository let us know by creating a GitHub issue or even better by creating a pull request with a feed you created.
The feeds in this repository are updated using the following tools:
0watch scrapes upstream websites to discover new versions of applications. It runs a watch file (e.g., ffmpeg.watch.py) and then automatically calls 0template as needed.
0template is used to add new releases of applications. It takes a template (e.g., ffmpeg.xml.template) and values for placeholders (e.g., a version number) as input and generates a new feed (e.g., ffmpeg-2.0.0.xml) as output.
0repo merges feeds generated by 0template (e.g., ffmpeg-2.0.0.xml) into the appropriate main (e.g., ffmpeg.xml).
We use GitHub Actions to automate these processes.
To work with this repository on your own machine run these commands inside an empty directory:
git clone https://github.com/0install/apps.git --single-branch feeds
git clone https://github.com/0install/apps.git --single-branch --branch=gh-pages public
ln -s feeds/0repo-config.py .
ln -s public/archives.db .
mkdir incoming
0install add 0repo https://apps.0install.net/0install/0repo.xml
You can now run feeds/watch.sh (on Linux) or feeds\watch.ps1 (on Windows) to search for new releases and 0repo to update the feeds.
If you do not have the GnuPG key used to sign feeds in this repository, set the environment variable NO_SIGN=1 before running 0repo.
