tinyrepo: a one-binary package shelf for Debian and Arch

tinyrepo.dev Observed source

Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

tinyrepo builds and serves small local Debian or Arch/Manjaro package repositories from a Go binary.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-01 issue.

Field notes

tinyrepo stores a deliberately limited package set by resolving names and dependencies against a cached upstream index, then serves the result over HTTP. An on-demand mode can expose the wider archive while writing only requested packages to disk. The homepage also documents a package-existence check suitable for CI, including a missing-package exit code of 18, and describes a searchable Debian catalog of roughly 64,000 packages.
