# Repository generator for the blender package manager
For the package manager itself, see the `soc-2017-package_manager` branch here:
https://developer.blender.org/diffusion/B/browse/soc-2017-package_manager/

This repository contains a script (`generate_repository`) for generating
repositories of blender packages. Example usage:

	./generate_repository /path/to/packages --baseurl 'http://localhost/'

This will produce a `repo.json` file in the current directory, which can then
be copied to the server.  The baseurl is prepended to the filename of each
package to form the package's url (so for example, `http://localhost/node_wrangler.py`).

For an explanation of the other options see `generate_repository --help`:
