And I'm a bit more ambitious than the FreeCAD plugin manager, although my skills don't always follow :) Here's a forum discussion: https://forum.kicad.info/t/one-script-to-rule-them-all/8935. Try to skip the unpleasant parts. I don't remember all the details anymore, but I think I already envisioned and maybe partly implemented more generic purpose features than I originally intended. Of course bobc was right and the manager should manage all kinds of downloadable content. One misunderstanding I would like to remove in the very beginning. This is not tied to any one central repository. It's just a matter of configuration and implementation details. The end user could configure different repositories or single package description sources. A "repository" is just one URL where several package descriptions can be found. Of course that URL should be configurable, chosen from a list etc. Eeli Kaikkonen
