Unlike general-purpose build systems such as Launchpad or Open Build Service (OBS), this repository is **not intended as a universal publishing platform**. Instead, it focuses on **hardware enablement and system integration for single board computers (SBCs)** supported by Armbian.
11

12
+
The primary goal of APA is to:
13
+
14
+
-**Simplify software packaging and distribution** for Armbian users and developers
15
+
-**Collect, standardize, and publish** packages that require specific integration or coordination with Armbian’s kernel, bootloader, or base system
16
+
- Ensure that **packages work correctly together** in the Armbian ecosystem
