(Well, maybe that is also possible, we might be able to use one of the "big name Linux distribution's" OBS installations.)
But who would run that? Certainly not me. Are you volunteering?

I was just thinking something integrated with KAUL. The menus would look something like:
- Update (refresh metadata from online)
- Upgrade All (download, unpack & install updated packages)
- Installed Packages > submenu with list of installed packages
- each package offers: upgrade (if available), uninstall (if possible)
- All Packages > submenu with list of all packages
- each package offers: install/(uninstall?)
Using a big name package system / manger feels like overkill, (even though you do get a lot for free - once the basics are figured out). I was thinking just very simple wget/curl/sed/md5 based shell scripts
(and no not volunteering at this time)
