Thanks! And yes, MRC was the first package I made work!

The package manager only works with Linux x86_64 for now, bit if you have that for your BBS, check out my blog post at meatlotion.com about the package manager and at the bottom of the page is a download link to the `bsr` command.

Once you have that downloaded, copy it to a dir in your path, i.e. /usr/bin/ and then you can just run;

# To update the repo
bsr update

# To search for a package
bsr search sometext

# To install a package
bsr install package-name

# To uninstall a package (works but needs tuning)
bsr uninstall package-name

# To see a list of installed packages
bsr list


I think that will give you a head start! =)
