Software Package Manager for Windows provides a quick way to install and update software....

Select a software from the repository and RuckZuck handles the download and installation for you. RuckZuck can detect and update existing software that was not installed with RuckZuck.

• Main Page: https://RuckZuck.tools
• Software Repository: http://ruckzuck.tools/Repository.aspx
• RSS Feed: http://ruckzuck.tools/rss.aspx

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.

Changes in V.Next (Soon):

RuckZuck will soon get a 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).
