apt-transport-s3-https

APT transport which interacts with S3 buckets over HTTPS with s3gof3r for multipart/concurrency

TODO

• APT transport Message handling interface
• APT transport 1.2 capabilities: pipelining
• Multipart/concurrent S3 requests, using s3gof3r

Why?

Other S3 APT transports are available, but many have problems:

• Insecure storage of S3 credentials
• Unable to make use of EC2 IAM role credentials (s3access metadata endpoint)
• Use plain HTTP
• Non feature complete / non-functional

Notable Projects

• depot
• repo_server
• s3gof3r

Honorable Mentions

• @coderanger -- showed me an internal experimental Python implementation of this and provided me with the understanding of the stdio protocol an APT transport implements
