lyp already supports installing packages from local files. lyp install mypack:~/mypack-repo This feature can be used also for package development. > The Git > approach isn't absolutely crucial to lyp's internal working (IIUC) but > is the foundation for a number of its features.

Git is only used for the process of installing packages: lyp clones the git repository, checks out the correct version, then copies the files to ~/.lyp/packages. As I wrote in the other message, lyp doesn't even require having git installed on your machine. It uses gitlib2 with ruby bindings.
