Could you build this?

Partial The control plane, auth, and index can be vibe-coded, but emulating apt, rpm, maven, PyPI, npm, and Terraform protocols correctly is protocol-level work that requires deep knowledge of each format's metadata and signing rules.

What it would actually take: Build a Go service that serves each native repository protocol (apt Release/Packages signing, rpm repodata, Maven layout, PEP 503 simple index, npm registry API, Terraform module registry) and maps artifacts onto OCI manifests and blobs, with a rebuildable index database. The hard parts are byte-exact client compatibility and metadata signing for each ecosystem, which needs experience with package-manager internals and extensive interoperability testing.
