did you try to search for it?
if I go to the packages site and type in packages - what do I get?

What is the current state (if any) for the packaging of CakePHP plugins?
We currently have (Plugins listed here http://plugins.cakephp.org/) which
is great, but it might be even more awesome if from a cake shell (or
similar) you could search for plugins and install (with dependency
resolution) new plugins, much the same way as apt-get works for Debian,
npm for Node and pear for PHP... etc etc etc.
Seems you might be able to leverage Github pulling tarballs from there
(Terms of Service check!!) which then means all that is required is some
kind of agreeable CakePHP package meta definition file -plus- a central
index that can serve responses pointing to Github tarballs.
An example might be:-
$ cake packages search foobar
Which would send a query to a suitable host that stores an index of all
registered CakePHP plugins that contain the meta definition file, that host
would return information about all packages related to foobar. So I might
then type:-
$ cake packages install the-foobar-thing
Which in this case would pull the latest the-foobar-thing
tarball/zipball package from Github, unpack it, parse the meta definition
file to determine if there are dependencies and process any installation
steps.
Thoughts, comments, problems, solutions, someone else already done or
doing this?
