Hi Graham. Uploading a ZIP file to Brooklyn is indeed a good idea. The good news is, there is a PR to support this in `brooklyn-server`[1]. The slightly less good news is that it's still in review and therefore not available yet in the stable version.
However, there are few of workarounds this. You could host your different bom files anywhere you want, then reference those into your main BOM file like so: ``` brooklyn.catalog: id: your-id items: - item: http://..... - item: http://..... ``` Or you could create a JAR with all your resources inside then reference this in your main BOM file, similar to what Clocker does[2]. Finally, you would just distribute your main BOM file to other users.
