Hello Jim;
To be honest, I am not too sure how the HPKR file is created as I have
only worked with reading them. Maybe somebody here might be able to
point at some resources about how to create an HPKR file?
I can tell you about "depot.haiku-os.org" (HDS) though. If you go [1],
you will see a list of repositories. Technically you just need to get
your repository into this list (requires a root user to do this) and HDS
will feed from it and start showing packages from it.
The problem at the moment is that the *existing* repositories configures
(one per architecture) are all for HaikuPorts. I need to create some
means by which it is possible to classify those repositories into
different "Depots" for people who have created their own repositories.
Presently I am migrating the system to Java 8 which is taking a little
while because I am changing it to use new Java 8 language features.
This port should be completed soon and then the next thing I will look
at it is classifying the repositories in this way and then... it should
be possible to add third-party repositories.
cheers

Now that I have a repository, it is still a stepchild,
depot.haiku-os.org is not tracking my repo.
the documentation states:
The application server is able to communicate with remote repositories
to retrieve "Haiku Package Repository" (.hpkr) files. .hpkr files
contain meta-data of the packages that are stored at that repository.
This gives me enough to ask:
What is an .hpkr file? What do I need to do to make it? How to get
depot.haiku-os.org to read it and add my repo?
