3) Ryppl: this project had (2) as a sub-goal, but added a top-level tool that took meta-data about project dependencies (in git repositories), downloaded, built, installed, and tested everything. It was to be based on git, CMake, and python packaging support. We got it to the point where it could download, build, install and uninstall packages and resolve some simple dependencies. It got hung up on resolving more complicated dependencies, which is hard problem in the general case. It's doable, but in the end, we just didn't have enough free time.
