Overview

File repos are used to store a database of pods with a simple file directory structure. File repos also provide a simple base repository which may be wrapped by more advanced repo implementations such as web repos.

Design

A file repo is implemented using a simple design:

1. one directory for each pod
2. each pod version is named "{name}-{version}.pod"
3. meta-data is lazily loaded from pod zip file as needed

So a simple file repo might look something like this:

fileRepo/
 acmeAlpha/
 acmeAlpha-1.0.24.pod
 acmeAlpha-1.0.25.pod
 acmeAlpha-1.0.26.pod
 acmeBeta/
 acmeBeta-1.0.25.pod
 acmeBeta-1.0.26.pod

This design allows you to easily manage your repository using standard file management tools. It also provides an easy way to find the current/latest version of pod without actually having to open each pod file and inspect the metadata.
