| The list of publicly-known packages can be found on the default mirror site: http://roscidus.com/0mirror/ In general, though, if there's some package you want and you look for it there you're likely to be disappointed. 0install is probably more interesting to people wanting to publish software (and particularly, collections of related software). Good use cases would be: - Using it to build a package manager for a programming language (Rust would have been a good fit, I think, though like most languages they prefer to build their own language-specific system). - Distributing applications for a desktop environment (the ROX desktop was the original motivation to create 0install). - Managing plugins for a large application (Drupal, etc). It might be best to think of it as a platform on which you can build a package manager or community. Of course, people use it for individual applications too, but then you pay the cost of having to explain to your users what it is the first time. With a larger collection, the payoff is better. |
