# rpo
[![npm](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/rpo.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/rpo)

A sweet, simple, multi-platform Debian/Cydia repository manager. Currently a CLI
tool, but a web and desktop interface are planned for future releases.

The purpose of this is to create a tool that can easily manage a Debian or Cydia
repository regardless of platform. Utilizing libraries written entirely in
Javascript, such as [unipkg](https://github.com/FrederickGeek8/unipkg),
`rpo` is able to perform operations such as `dpkg-scanpackages` without `dpkg` ever being installed.

# Installing

```bash
npm install -g rpo
```

# Usage

# Prerequisites
This project has been tested on Node v18.20.3.

# Roadmap
*Progress can be tracked over on the [project board.](https://github.com/FrederickGeek8/repo-manager/projects)*
1. Create a desktop interface similar in effect to Github Desktop, where locations
of repositories are kept track of and can be managed easily through a GUI.
2. Create a backend interface similar to that of the previous version of `repo-manager`
(for those of you who remember it), where the repository can be managed remotely.
3. Create an automated frontend generation system that will updated and present
to users what packages are currently in the repository.
