aptly-dev
Static HTML Package Listing
Detailed Description
Generate a static HTML webpage that lists repository contents, similar to that of repoview in the Fedora community.
https://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stable/CentOS/7/x86_64/repoview/
Context
This allows end users to view what packages are available, and also see newly added packages.
Possible Implementation
Add an optional flag to the publish step that would generate the HTML files and publish them in addition to the repository content.
It occurs to me that this is something that can be generated from the published repo (or more interactively via the aptly API) already. There is no reason I can think of why aptly itself would need to or want to create very specific info dumps.
If anything I could imagine use in dumping a JSON which third party tools could then render into HTML/pdfs/whatever but even with that it's worth noting that all this would only replicate information which is already in the repo using a different format (specifically the Packages file contains all the info necessary).
