Personally, I doubt that this is worth a package. - It's just a simple shell script, nothing of great usefulness - It is especially taylored to update the PDB for Schrödinger's "Prime" software, which is a proprietary, non-free software. Most of the things it does are related to Prime integration, the update part itself is just a simple call to rsync. Therefore, adapting it to a free database (or simply writing a nice free supplement which does not assume a given local database structure) would nearly be the same as starting from scratch. - Finally, given the license of Prime itself, I doubt that this script has a free license (assuming that such a small piece of code is copyrightable at all).
