To host pre-built 3rd-party software to reduce install time
See original GitHub issueWhen installing susi_linux for development, we need to install many dependencies. Some of them need to be compiled from C/C++ source. It takes long time, especially on weak device like Pi Zero. It wastes our developer’s time when our product is still unstable and need to be reinstalled many time.
Solution:
Build dependencies to *.deb and *.whl files (*.whl is Python wheel package, used for installing via pip) and host it somewhere. Those host can act as APT repo, PyPI to let us install via apt and pip.
Some services to consider:
- PackageCloud: Support APT, PyPI. Have pricing plan for OSS project. Normal free plan has limited quota.
- Bintray: Support APT but not PyPI. Have pricing plan for OSS project.
- Gemfury. Support APT, PyPI. Doesn’t have pricing plan for OSS project but is free if all hosted packages are in public mode. Have to manually setup public mode for each file.

@lskillen Great! I will give it a try. Thank you.
@hongquan Please feel free to consider Cloudsmith as well for packaging. 😃
It’s also commercial but has very generous free plans and offerings for open-source projects (100GB of storage and 1TB of bandwidth, with more available on request). You can setup an org with several users to manage the account.
Full disclosure: I work for Cloudsmith, so might be biased (but only slightly, honest).
