Custom package extension?
Would it possible to change the package extension from *.tar.gz for example to *.gpm? Maybe as option or with a config file?

Our philosophy is to use existing technologies/standards as transparently as possible.
We don't see the point of creating new file extensions if they don't convey any specific semantic or features. It's just confusing.
Idea behind a custom extension was easier separation of gpm packages from tar.gz archives. So I could add some sources including tar.gz files to gpm repository without matching git-lfs track pattern.
I see. The way we designed it, GPM-compliant git repositories don't store non-GPM-compliant files.
I guess the current implementation won't mind either way.
I'll give it some thinking. Maybe something like .gpm.tar.gz.
It would be just a nice to have! Not a must have to me...
Optional gpm.tar.gz would be fine too.
Hi,
GPM sounds amazing, pretty much exactly what we have been looking for to manage releases and dependencies. Except we already have a package file which does have a custom file ending ".nipkg". This package file just packages two other tar.gz files and a manifest file.
