What I would recommend here is to open a github repository which would
contain package sources and setup git hooks to your server -- that way it's
super easy to contribute/fix packages and you can focus solely on the
building part & GUI for downloading/searching etc. In fact, this (the need
to have an own server if you want to track build dependencies) is the only
reason why we already don't have this in FreeMiNT (so you can't push a
change to, say, gemlib and get freemint's tools rebuilt).
