Repository

To enable running peerix instances to obtain extra functionality without having to compile sources themselves, I propose to establish a repository of binaries. The respoitory will sit on top of FUSE and Io.c.

The structure will store a minimum of metadata with the directory structure expressing the kind of content.

Some metadata must be held in the repositry.

• Version number of a binary
• C library it is compiled against

All other metadata is managed by the network.

ELF

ELF is a standard header format used by compiled binaries. It contains metatdata relating to the dynamic links that are expected at runtime
