The RuckZuck repository does not store binaries of the software, just links to where the software is downloaded. Installing software with RuckZuck does not grant you a license for that product.
As the Api is more and more overloaded with requests that will bulk dump the software definitions, the API function "GetSoftwares" will require an APIKey. API-Keys can be requested by sending me a DM or by opening an Issue here on GitHub.
New REST API which brings some general changes:
- No RuckZuck accounts and therefore no authentication required anymore.
- You will be able to provide an E-Mail address if you upload new software, but as soon as the software is approved, the address will be removed from the package.
- Moderators will have to log in with a Microsoft account.
- No benefits for existing 'PRO' users (accounts will be deleted).
- It is possible that RuckZuck will store binaries for some packages.
- If a product does not provide a URL for automatic download and the license allows redistribution of binaries, RuckZuck will be able to host these files.
- Support for private/disconnected repostories if you host your own RuckZuck Server (no sync from the public repository).
