Use Cases¶

As a user I can CRUD file importer. [done]

As a user I can CRUD file publisher. [done]

As as user, I want to synchronize file repositories by specifying a feed url that points to a manifest.

• Support sync-policy: mirror only [#3336]
• Support http/https and file (local filesystem)

As a user, I want to publish file repositories.

• Incremental not supported.
• When the repository includes multiple files with the same path (but different digest), the publisher will add only the newest content unit in the publication. [#3337]

As a user, I can upload file content to a repository. [done]

As a user, I can distribute a file publication so that it can be synced/downloaded. [done]

Future Roadmap¶

As a user, I want to support signed files.
