What is PXL?

PXL (pronounced 'pixel') is a package management tool for iPhone. It is still in the early stages, however. The primary component is a service called PXLdaemon, which runs on your iPhone; various client services (Breezy, iBrickr, Shimmer and so on) then speak to PXLdaemon in order to install or uninstall packages.

The goal is not only to have a reasonably extensible and sane format, but also keep the entire thing open source so that it can be a community effort to maintain and expand it.

How far along is it?

PXLdaemon is reasonably far along, and there are several tools which speak to PXLdaemon. However, there is always more room for improvement; anyone interested in helping out can speak to one of the project admins, and almost certainly find something to do! PXLdaemon itself could be extended and improved, or one of the client app tools could be polished up better.
