What It Is
This server publishes versioned MinGW artifacts and metadata consumed by the Ooblerg app.
The installer provides a GTK 4 package manager for browsing, installing, removing, and repairing packages in a local sysroot.
The packages are derived from Ubuntu 24.04-era sources and tuned for x86_64 Windows cross-development.
What Is Inside
Ooblerg is built for native Windows app experiments that still want the GNOME-adjacent stack: GObject Introspection, GTK 4, GLib, Cairo, Pango, GStreamer, libsoup, GDAL, Vala, SQGI, and supporting compiler/runtime packages.
The repository API starts at /v1/index.json, with package manifests and tarballs under /v1/packages/.
- Install and remove packages with ownership tracking.
- Detect file conflicts and clean leftover files after failed installs.
- Seed a MinGW sysroot with compiler, runtime, GTK, multimedia, and scripting packages.
- Use SQGI to write Squirrel apps against GObject Introspection libraries.
Getting Started
Download the Windows installer and launch Ooblerg Package Manager.
Refresh the repository index from this server so the app sees the newest packages.
Install packages such as sqgi, gtk4, vala, or gcc into the local sysroot.
