How this would work is that anyone could upload a package to the network, and anyone with rednet can download it. You could also make it so that there can be different networks of packages.

One of the tricky things about CC is deciding how to balance what functionality should be built-in to the mod and what we should just let individuals to write (or download) themselves.

As #425 and #203 (comment) mention, package management (either over http or rednet) is a tricky one. In one sense, it would be good to have a standardised way of distributing and installing packages.

However, package management is really tricky to get right, and it's we have to get right first time. I'm not confident we can do that, so I'm afraid this is out-of-scope for right now. The CC community continues to experiment with different ways of handling package management, which you might want to check out!
