Where are the sources for the TPK packages?

I am comfortably qualified to update, build, and deploy packages, and since this seems to be a one-person show[1], I thought I could help contribute with some basic version bumps. I went looking for the source code for the .tpk files used in the app store, but have thus far been unable to locate any code repositories.

Can anyone tell me where the source code for the app binaries provided in the app store can be found?

I'd love to help contribute to the effort. Thanks in advance for the info!

1. From what I've been able to determine from context and notices on the forums, @outkastm is handling everything related to the TNAS app store and its applications.

The applications in the Terramaster App Center are divided into three categories:

1. **Officially developed applications by Terramaster.** The source code for these applications is not open to the public.
2. **Third-party commercial applications.** These applications are packaged using the TPK packaging tool provided by Terramaster, based on the original applications. The source code for these commercial applications is also not open, such as Plex, Emby, etc.
3. **Open-source community applications.** These applications are developed using open-source community code and packaged with the TPK tool. For details on the TPK packaging method, please refer to: [viewtopic.php?t=6401](viewtopic.php?t=6401). You can also download the open-source community code you need and package it yourself. @outkastm is engaged in this work.

We welcome more developers to contribute to the community applications. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
