EXPath Package Registry

eXist-db EXPath Package Registry (public-repo)

This application allows an eXist-db instance to host a repository of applications and libraries stored in the EXPath Package format.

The application:

• Welcomes Users with a configurable landing page and a prominent search bar
• Offers a search for packages
• Offers a list of all packages for discovery by users
• Has a detail view for each package group with all releases, requirements and the change log
• Exposes a package listing API to clients like the Package Manager in eXist-db or xst
• Exposes an Atom feed with all package updates
• Allows administrators to log in, upload new packages, and refresh the package metadata
• Allows administrators to log in and see some download statistics

Other eXist-db clients can browse available packages via Dashboard > Package Manager. By default, eXist-db's Dashboard > Package Manager is configured to access the eXist-db EXPath Package Registry at https://exist-db.org/exist/apps/public-repo.
