Add ReaScript APIs for enumerating and installing/removing packages

[Bindernews]

I'm working on a setup tool for reaper, with the ability to parse and assign keyboard shortcuts (working), mouse modifiers (in progress), settings (todo), and hopefully install reapack packages. The problem is that while ReaPack has APIs for adding repositories, there's not an API for queuing things to be installed, or for enumerating the available packages.

I can see about submitting a PR, but I'm not at all familiar with the code so it might take me a while.

EDIT: Suggested APIs

• bool ok, string name = reaper.ReaPack_EnumRepositories(int index)
• PackageEntry retval, string error = reaper.ReaPack_EnumRepositoryPackages(string repo_name, int index)
• bool ok, string error = reaper.ReaPack_InstallPackage(string repo, string name, string | nil version, int pin, bool reinstall)
  • If version is nil, the package will be uninstalled
  • if reinstall is true, the package will be force-reinstalled
  • pin==0: no pin, pin==1 pin to given version, pin==2 user preference
• bool ok, string version = reaper.ReaPack_EnumPackageVersions(string repo, string package, int index)

This would be very useful. I completely agree.

Since reapack doesn't support dependencies, I get a million times of "what to do? it require another package", so a huge +1 from me.
