hilde

A server implementation of a Debian repository.

Development

To develop this project, you'll need a few things:

• Docker (for setting up the database)
• Cargo & Rust stable (all hail Rocket v0.5)
• The PostgreSQL dev libraries (to compile Diesel)

That's the ones I can think of right now. If I think of any others, I'll be sure to add them to the list.

For ease of development, there's a Makefile wrapper that can do everything you need to do to work on Hilde. I recommend reading through it (it's not long), but the important ones are make & make run, which are just Cargo aliases, and make db, which starts a local PostgreSQL database using Docker.
