1. A computer-implemented method for managing software packages, comprising:

  • accessing, by a client version control system (VCS), a remote VCS to obtain a difference between current metadata stored locally representing some versions of the software packages currently installed or packages available in a repository and newer metadata, if any, representing latest versions of the software packages available from a server for distribution; and

    generating, by the client VCS, the newer metadata based on the current metadata and the difference of the current and newer metadata obtained from the remote VCS.
