I worry about the maintenance burden. Repositories are somewhat easy with our infrastructure. If we are able to HTTP POST the binary to chacra.ceph.com Who will be maintaining this package? We have done something similar in the past, where Vagrant doesn't have a repository (but does have packages) and we've set them up at https://chacra.ceph.com/r/vagrant/latest/HEAD/ so that our tooling can just consume from there. > > -- > Regards > Kefu Chai
