Ubuntu repositories as heroku apps

Host Ubuntu repositories (currently only lucid and precise) easily as heroku apps.

Adding packages

Drop package files (.deb, .changes, .dsc, .orig.tar.gz, etc) in the ubuntu/pool/main dir.

Then, run ./sync.sh and commit all changes.

Deploying to heroku

heroku create apt-<name>
git push heroku master

To use your newly created ubuntu repository, use the following apt sources:

# for lucid:
deb http://apt-<name>.herokuapp.com/ubuntu lucid main

# for precise:
deb http://apt-<name>.herokuapp.com/ubuntu precise main

TODO

1. use .htaccess redirects to store huge .deb files elsewhere (eg.: in S3 buckets).
