Should we have one?

If so, a new one or one that someone has made already? If premade, which one?

I would like a this! But there's one problem: Whats with the repos? In Packman the repos are downloaded to the Computer. But if this got a part of CC, almost every, who made a program for CC want his own repos. That's to much for a Computer. In oppm (OpenComputers) the repos are just in the internet, but It's very slow.

Well, this is hard. It would make CraftOS rather bloated, in addition to inherently being less extensible than a separate package manager. If it had very good dependency management and forum-crawling (as in, it searches for pastebin links in forum posts), I could accept it. As it stands though, I'm not convinced this is a great idea.

I personally am against this. If we need an official package manager, however, I think we could mainstream packman by lyqyd. If he could fix it to work with the betas, that would be a possible decision.

@MineRobber9000 Packman is updated and works now with the beta.
