Repository

The repository is simply a directory where you can centralize all of your package files. It is referenced as a variable within the application, allowing it to be used in multiple places and changed in only one.

The structure of the repository isn't enforced in any way, you can organize it however you wish.

The repository is set using the Repository Preferences in the Preferences Window.

Files downloaded from Package Library will be stored in this directory.

$(Repository)

The variable $(Repository) can be used in any package install file name. This variable name is not case sensitive.

UNC Path

While the repository can be any directory it's necessary to use a UNC path if you're using pull copy mode so that the target computers are able to read from it.

Example

With the repository set to \\FileServer\Deploy\Packages a package install file name of $(Repository)\Adobe\Flash.msi will expand to \\FileServer\Deploy\Packages\Adobe\Flash.msi.
