Personally, I doubt that this is worth a package.
- It's just a simple shell script, nothing of great usefulness
- It is especially taylored to update the PDB for Schrödinger's "Prime"
software, which is a proprietary, non-free software. Most of the
things it does are related to Prime integration, the update part
itself is just a simple call to rsync.
Therefore, adapting it to a free database (or simply writing a nice
free supplement which does not assume a given local database
structure) would nearly be the same as starting from scratch.
- Finally, given the license of Prime itself, I doubt that this script
has a free license (assuming that such a small piece of code is
copyrightable at all).
