I actually considered this a long time ago. Simple solution is to bundle
rsync with wpkg and allow one to specify a remote rsync location to
retrieve packages. When this attribute exists, wpkg simply syncs a local
temp directory with the specified one (perhaps resuming where it left
off), and when complete, issues the install command.
That rsync location can be either a single file off http, which rsync
already supports, or an rsync server hosting many software installs...
or even a smb path, which rsync would just copy from. Wpkg doesn't have
to implement anything protocol specific at all.
Does rsync really support http?
I see no reference in rsync documentation that it does (as of version
2.6.7, which is also the newest).
