I meant taking a part of the snippet tree out of the database and into
a file based stoarage. Sort of a definition that the contents of
directory x are "blended" into the Snippetdir Tree.

Not neccesserily. You need a logic which can decide whether the
SnippetDir in Question is already there or not. The problem is, that
you cannot generalize the problem down to a Shell/Perl Scripting Layer,
you need Information from the Midgard System for this.

Exactly that conclusion lead me to the point to propose implementing
the packaging system in PHP on top of Midgard Core. It should that
difficult to generate Package of a specific Component with PHP. This
would also be easier to use for beginners, which often have problems
understanding Repligard.

You know that I do not like the idea of inventing the wheel again, but
I think that in this case it would be the easiest solution.


Live long and prosper!
