As I've said to you we need a gst-get tools :

- first we need an easy way to get repositories (i.e. the list of
packages) 
- for each repositories do we support multiple protocols : ssh, git,
svn, http(s), ftp, ...

We can begin with a simple tool with a list of git repositories. As
there is the gitorious project we can reuse it.

After it should be pretty easy to extend it with other protocols and
better tools ...
