My brain parses all caps ‘APT’ as ‘advanced persistent threat’. In regards to the package manager, doesn’t OpenAPT imply a closed apt? Is that a thing?

- rmedaer 7y agoWhat do you mean by "closed apt" ?
- kitotik 7y agoExactly. What is meant by “OpenAPT?”?
- rmedaer 7y agoUnderstood! The name is inspired by "Open*" projects. For instance OpenAPI. The goal of this project is first to design a specification format for APT repositories like OpenAPI is doing for HTTP APIs. I have to admit that it is not the best name ever. I'm "open" to any better proposal. Feel free to open an issue with the best meaningful name idea you have!
