Any TLDR on how actually use it, from the plugin developer perspective? I was immediately put off by having to run a WP plugin just to obtain a “did”, and having to run WP to host the repository is also far from ideal.
I wish this was an evolution from bedrock, or that it used some composer infrastructure (which works with just static files).
The protocol repository [1] has more documentation on how to implement your own repository and we expect there’ll be many implementations of it over time - for launch, our proof-of-concept repo is built on WP since it integrates with Git Updater which is already widely used. (We’ll try and publish to Packagist now that it’s public too!)
