The Advanced Package Tool (APT) is a keystone of the Debian package management system, recognized for its efficiency, resilience, and ease of use in handling the installation and removal of software. More information can be found at the Debian APT Howto - https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch02.en.html, which provides an in-depth look at its mechanisms and use-cases.
In an attempt to expand upon APT's capabilities, there have been endeavors like the [apt-transport-oci - https://github.com/AkihiroSuda/apt-transport-oci/blob/master/README.md project by Akihiro Suda. The project seeks to enable APT to retrieve packages from OCI (Open Container Initiative) compliant container registries. Although this method has the potential to augment scalability, enhance security, and offer redundancy in package distribution, it's not without challenges. Adapting APT to the OCI has complexity involved in ensuring compatibility, especially given APT's dependency resolutions and established procedures. Still, if successfully implemented, combining APT's strengths with OCI's distributed framework could signify a transformative leap in package distribution.
We should include Debian (deb files with dpkg/apt to install) in the use cases. This is one I can work on myself.
