The repository root contains a "repository.json" file describing the repository, a "categories.json" file defining the available categories, and a "contents" directory containing manifests for its contents. That's all. Repository Manager repositories are not designed to be server-less, but managed by a server we call "Repository Manager", which takes the role of serving the official API, obtaining and preparing application files for distribution, and providing support for the Homebrew Browser.
