Would anyone who wished to renew their consumable substances run (say from 
their git clone, if we would store them in the git clone) scripts such as my 
shell and sqlite scripts which will download, in a temporary directory, the 
data sources (in my case a FreeDiams tarball) and from these to create a date 
file which can (re) populate a GNUmed installation's

        ref.consumable_substances

If the above is the plan, and if

        install-data-pack.sql

would not be stored in the Git tree, where would it be stored? At 
http://www.gnumed.de/downloads/data/ where lives

        http://www.gnumed.de/downloads/data/data-packs.conf

??

In this case, the conf file could point to the existing health canada zip or 
the freediams tarball, but how will the GNUmed client be instructed what sql 
script to run? IOW will the needed script need to be at some root level inside 
the extracted archive, or ...
