Note: the code in here is very, very much a work in progress. Please do not use it!
This is a tool to download large files. This is to be used in mamba and potentially other package managers. It's a port of librepo, but extends it in several ways as well as being cross-platform (it should support Windows as well).
Current WIP features are:
- Mirror support and automatic mirror selection
- Native OCI registry and S3 bucket support
- Resumable downloads
- zchunk support for delta-downloads
In the future this might be directly integrated into the mamba codebase -- or live seperately.
Install dependencies (remove zchunk on Windows or where it's not available):
mamba env create -n powerloader -f environment.yml
Then you can run
conda activate test
mkdir build; cd build
cmake .. -GNinja
ninja
./powerloader --help
