Thanks, looks really interesting! At the moment working on REST API for aptly which should allow similar simple publishing scenarios.

aptly can do more much more than just S3 publishing: for example snapshotting, combining packages from different sources.

I use fpm to build aptly .deb packages, it is extremely simple to use compared to usual source package + build path. This is a problem for Go programs, due to multiple unversioned (usually) dependencies on other Go libraries.

NixOS is aiming for the same goal, I believe. NixOS is built on top of different package manager, Nix. With aptly you're still using your favorite Debian/Ubuntu distro, installing packages with apt-get and so on.

Sorry for my bad English. Does this sound better: "Linux distribution is a well-tested collection of packages that are carefully organized and supported by the vendor."

olgeni, I thought aptly would be useful even if you use only upstream repositories: they get updates and sometimes you don't want all updates to be installed (or you would like to control exact moment to install those updates).
