Hi Wilson,

The InstallPackage tool can automatically fetch packages from your
repository as long as you have a file called MANIFEST.bz2 with the name of
the tarballs you are hosting. This is what we have on gobolinux.org:

    gobolinux.org/packages/016/MANIFEST.bz2

I'm not sure if files under subdirectories will be catched or not, but you
can try. Then, the other thing that you will need to do is to edit
/System/Settings/Scripts/GetAvailable.conf and include the URL to your
manifest file on the contribPackagesList array. For example:

    officialPackagesLists=(
       'https://gobolinux.org/packages/016/MANIFEST.bz2'
    )
    contribPackagesLists=(
        'https://WilsonRU.github.io/GoboLinux-bin/MANIFEST.bz2'
    )

My suggestion for you is to move all files to a flat hierarchy and to host
them on your github.io page. That should make it easier for other users to
fetch the packages you're maintaining.

Cheers,
Lucas
