Enhancement

This might be handy for instances who do not have access to any package repository.
xst would act as a proxy, fetching the package then uploading and installing it in the instance that is connected.

Alternatives

Not doing implementing this feature, because it is not worth it.

Could you describe the current behavior? What does xst currently treat as its package repository?

Is this related to #13 ?

xst does not have a package repository but tells the exist-db instance it is connected to which repository to use for dependency resolution.

@joewiz yes, both issues are related insofar that they allow to specify a repository other than the public one on exist-db.org.
This feature here would be interesting if the instance itself cannot access any repository. Here, xst would do the package fetching and then upload the package(s) and call install-and-deploy-from-db. Naturally, you would have to care for those to be installed in the correct order, so that all dependencies are met at installation time.

Pretty much like the autodeploy folder works.
