To add a new repository in eyeSoft you need to follow three steps:

  • Edit manually the file eyeOS/system/conf/ports.xml and add

a new <mirror> tag insidide the <mirrors> tag. The tag must contain the URL to the new repository: 

http://www.yoururl.com/ports.xml
  • Add the file ports.xml in the document root of your webserver.

Note that you can rename the file to any other name you want, as long as you change the url to your server to make it point to this file. You must put this content inside the file: 

<eyePorts>
    <portServer>
        <address>www.yoururl.com</address>
        <name>Name of your server</name>

<path>/ports/list.xml</path> 

        <version>1.0</version>
    </portServer>
</eyePorts>
  • Create a directory named ports, and place inside a file called list.xml.

Again, you can change both the directory and the name of the file as long as you update the content of the <path> tag in the ports.xml file. You must put this content inside the file: 

<address>soft.eyeos.org</address>
<path>/ports</path>
<packages>
</packages>
