I was thinking, it would be amazing to have a plugin/script package system that works similar to aptitude or firefox's add-ons system. More specifically

- Auto Updates, Auto Updates, Auto Updates
- One central location to manage all plugins/scripts/version/info/updates
- Ability to add "repositories" to add/search/update plugins from (say a xbmcscripts.com or similar) (once again think apt system)

I am honestly surprised, I thought for sure there would be people jumping on this. Is this functionality already duplicated somewhere else that I am missing?

I have the xbmc-addons installer plugin, while really handy, doesn't quite do what I am going for here. (If I am somehow overlooking something about that plugin feel free to correct me)

Incidentally, I created a feature request on the trac
http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/4892

there is already one in the works, a total installer/uninstaller/updater for scripts, plugins, skins.

Well that answers that ! ;-)

Out of sheer curiosity/feedback is there any info about it anywhere? My search turned up nothing.

[blittan]

shattered info.. not that much since it's worked on internally.

To answer your ideas on the trac, those and alot more is alrady covered.

Hopefully I will have this ready to ship with atlantis. But have my hands tied by family, work and a car that needs to pass inspection (exhaust values are bad)

Thanks for the update, don't do it enough to call myself a programmer but if you need any sort of random help or testing feel free to send me a message. Incidentally I posted the remainder of what I had thought of on the trac, kinda of a hybrid of the debian package system.

ah, good luck with the car !
