I am currently working on a package manager for computercraft. The goal is to make something that works similar to apt-get on linux systems.
You basically type "ccpkg install packagename", and it downloads, installs, and updates the package (and other packages it depends on).
It uses a Server built with PHP.
Currently, it is still verrry work-in-progress, I don't know if i will ever really release it. If I would, I'd need a few people to look over the PHP i wrote to see if everything is properly escaped and stuff.
I am also thinking about how the packages can be published. (Login via cc/web interface/email me the files? I don't know yet...)
Well, I will post screenshots and stuff as soon as there is anything to see...

Can you add the current code if you have any?

[leftshiftadri]

This is the lua code I've written so far:

Downloading it wouldn't make much sense though, because I am currently only using a local server and it will just give you an error.
Also, I will change the way the communication works so far. The way I'm doing it right now is kind of over complicated.
Edit: Also, all it's doing right now is downloading the files.

Aren't there already CC packagers, CC App Stores (there is one in awsmazingOS), the Pastebin program and cc-get?

Also Mine CCPT, About Publishing - I'm currently working on a Public repositories(like PPA in Ubuntu), this method seems to be the best one. Anyways I'd like to see your implementation workind!

[leftshiftadri]

I didn't know about cc-get, but well, i'm kind of doing something similar.
As I said, I don't know if I am even going to release it...

[awsmazinggenius]

For my in-development awsmazingOS App Store (and the awsmazingTunes music store) I use a public GitHub repository to store all the code, and a file in that repository to tell the application how to load all the content into the store.

[leftshiftadri]

Yup, I am also using something like instruction file(s) alongside with the program files.
I am also planning to make an in game packager and uploader, but I'm not quite sure about how I want to do the authentication. Also, i'm not quite sure about hosting... (I'm currently just running a local server)

It seems well, very insecure. Once a release is made, I will attempt to exploit the server and report my findings.
