Repositories are a collection of pointers to Libraries to install. Their purpose is to offer a curated list of libraries to install.

By default, SilverBullet ships with two repositories: ^Library/Repository/Std with a curated selection of community libraries, and ^Library/Repository/SilverBulletMD with optional libraries maintained by the SilverBullet project. More can be installed via the Library Manager.

The built-in repositories update like any other: the first update stores a copy in your space, which from then on takes the place of the shipped version. Deleting that copy brings the shipped version back, so built-in repositories can’t be removed.

Repositories are implemented on top of a few SilverBullet mechanisms, specifically they are simply Tool Pages under Library/Repository/ tagged with #meta/repository that contain data objects tagged with #meta/library/remote with a name and uri attribute. Libraries are kept up to date using the Share mechanism.

Repositories used to live under Repositories/. Pages there are no longer treated as repositories, so delete them by hand.
