Package Drone is a software artifact repository system.

It is based on OSGi and can easily be extended to extract new metadata or create new views to the repository.

For example it can be used to upload OSGi JAR files using Maven, which are then served as a P2 capable software repository.

The idea is to make provides extension modules to let you upload all kinds of software artifacts and serve them as all kinds of repository systems. Upload ".deb" files and serve an "apt" repository. Upload OSGi jars using Maven Tycho and create a valid Maven 2 repository. Define "mirrored" artifacts from Maven Central and serve them as P2 repository artifacts automatically. Just think what you do with all that 😉
