I'm thinking of creating a wrapper script for Compile and InstallPackage

latest available version and maybe system wide updates. A bit like
Manager, but for the prompt. Perhaps the script could wrap tools like
DisableProgram and SymlinkProgram as well?
My question is: what should it be called?
git - GoboLinux Install Tool or perhaps gpm - GoboLinux Program Manager?
I suggest you take a look at updating Freshen rather than working from
scratch; it has many of those features. It is in Ruby rather than sh,
though, so it's probably not suitable for being at the very base level
of the system.
I have totally forgotten about Freshen (I have never used it). It looks
like it has some of the functions I'm looking for, so that's a start. Otoh
Ruby is not my cup of coffee. Maybe the tool I'm looking for could
(should) wrap freshen as well, for system updates?
