Hey y'all,

How would you like a package manager for BBSes?
Would it be cool to `pkg install somedoor` and as if by magic it would do it?

Well, I have a surprise for you - I've been working on just such a system and you can read all about it here;
https://meatlotion.com/blog/who-wants-one-more-package-manager/

I currently only have two packages available so far, but now I have the backend structure and front end installer in a mostly working state, it'll only be a matter of time before we have plenty of doors to choose from.

The aim is to be BBS software agnostic, so if you run Synchronet, just pull the synchronet package you want, if you run Mystic, there will be mystic packages available.

Feel free to have a read of my blog post, and provide any feedback you have. I am hoping that this will make Sysop's lives much easier.
