If there is a cross-platform repository system out there that is well-tested and built to be _more_ secure than apt (i.e., defense against replay attacks in the original design), perhaps it could be leveraged.

And the Pd-community currently does not have the resources to build something that is similar or more advanced than the Debian distribution system and preferably be cross platform.
so why not use apt?
i mean, we could build on top of apt to do something "more" cross platform. Debian (and thus apt) already handles multiple architectures and "operating systems" (well: kernels), so we just need a few others archs:
- w32-i386
- w32-amd64
- osx-i386
- osx-amd64
this would of course mean porting (parts of) apt to w32/osx (and i have no clue how much work *that* means)
