You'r confused with BeeBS. BeeBS does nothing about package
management. BeeBS is just GSC, but it aims to be lighter, portable
and easy to maintain and track compilation problems.

STUT implements the stow functionality into a transparent layer that allows
to use't on non-hurd systems (ln's) or in hurd (not yet implemented, so, stowfs
is not yet finished)

Sorry, I was out for a long time. But the existence of the bee project was
longer exposed and looks like nobody take interest on it except some
"spanish" guys. (:?)

Of course. Stut if free to use and abuse.
