This article is incredibly wishy-washy and really POV. Notwithstanding the text, the title is awful: is there some repository of Linuxes out there? Within the next few days I'll move it to Software repository and make it sort of NPOV, unless someone else seriously objects or gets there first. NicM 00:33, 14 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

I was uneasy with it myself, but I wanted to start by improving it, because it looked terrible. Anyway, an alternative course of action is to merge it into package manager. I'm not sure that "repositories" (in this sense) is a topic that is worthy of its own Wikipedia article.—greenrd 02:29, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, merging is probably a better idea, there isn't really much to say about it that wouldn't be better in package manager. NicM 11:06, 14 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Ideas for sections: history, OSes, repo vs. store

I'm amazed at how underdeveloped this topic is, considering that repos are now central to software distribution. If anybody has enough information to at least start the new sections, coverage of the idea's history (who came up with it, when, how it came about, how it has evolved), different OSes that make use of the idea, and perhaps the potential gap between a "repository" and a "store" might be good additions. (That's what I came here to look up, FWIW, as I don't have the answers.) —Xyzzy☥Avatar (talk) 06:14, 24 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have just added archive links to one external link on Software repository. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/20071014212824/http://www.itmweb.com/essay503.htm to http://www.itmweb.com/essay503.htm

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).
