I add some consideration.

I agree, but i've also found the limit of these approach syncing a full
repository within sites that are connected with slow VPN link, instead
of using the full (local) internet speed.

Some days ago i've asked some more info on the download tag:

	http://lists.wpkg.org/pipermail/wpkg-users/2010-December/007134.html

(with no answer at all) exactly because the internal repository have
some limit, and the download tag also.

1) samba does not support accessing shares using machine account, so
 there's no way to setup a shared repository for the download tag, apart
a repository with ''full write from everyone'' that i don't want to
setup.

2) if i setup a local dir, clearly every wpkg invocation redownload the
 file

So i'm asking some info on download tag, because it is not clear how to
use it (at least for me) reading the wiki.

My goal would be to add to package the downoad tag, have the ability to
globally ''disable'' it in wpkg.js and insted use an external script
that parse the xml structure and download the package saving them in
the right repository.


Ok, i can use for that some ''xml comment'' in the recupes, but clearly
use the just provided download tags could be more cleaner...
