Garden Linux Release Database (GLRD)

The GLRD repository contains tooling and configuration to manage and query release information for the Garden Linux distribution.

GLRD provides two command-line tools:

• glrd-manage: Generates and populates the GLRD with initial release data and creates or updates individual release entries.
• glrd: Queries the GLRD to retrieve release information based on various criteria.

It uses JSON and YAML formats to store release information and supports integration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 for hosting release data.
