You're probably referring to me here. I have been considering writing
a tupkg-like tool that will upload and repo-add things, and be able to
have any sort of post-upload hooks that you want. I haven't really
written anything yet. One of the main attractions is that you wouldn't
really need any sort of cron job running to add things, which is one
sucky thing about the current community backend
