slicer-package-manager 0.3.0

Manage Slicer application and extension packages.

The Slicer Package Manager includes a REST API service and CLI built on Girder for downloading, uploading and organizing application and extension packages for both 3D Slicer and 3D Slicer-based applications.

Documentation is available at https://slicer-package-manager.readthedocs.io

In a nutshell:

• Data model specific to this project is implemented by organizing data using standard Girder constructs (collection, folder and item) and by associating metadata.

• By default, a top-level collection named Applications is created with a packages folder organizing the different application.

• Each application folder contain a draft folder where unreleased packages are uploaded and one or multiple release folders (e.g 1.0, 2.0, …).

• Each release folder contain application packages (installers for the different platforms), and an extensions folder containing a flat list of extension packages.

• Each extension packages is associated with metadata like application revision, extension revision, operating system and architecture.

The diagram below represents the organization:
