A-A-P
The goal for A-A-P is to make it easy to locate, download, and install software. Additionally, it supports making changes to a program and managing different versions that exist in the world, making it useful both for users and for developers. It uses a recipe that is similar to a Makefile, but with many enhancements, such as integrated Python script support, support for Internet access, and version control. An IDE will be provided that integrates your favorite editor, debugger, and other tools.

Tried making "recipies" for Subverison and Neon, found that it worked fairly well for fetching/building/installing them as FreeBSD packages. My first impression is that A-A-P has some good potential, and I look forward to seeing how it turns out.
