Packages can also be hosted outside of Github using the following data.

This will be the URL which is used to add the package.
Example: www.test.com

  {
    "name" : "My package name",
    "full_name" : "Something/My package name",
    "description" : "This is a test package",
    "homepage_url" : "www.test.com"
  }

For version data "versions" is appended to the above url.
Example: www.testversions.com

  [
    {
      "download_url" : "www.test.com/files.zip",
      "options_url" : "www.test.com/.simbapackage",
      "notes" : "notes about this version",
      "time" : "unixtimestamp",
      "name" : "versionname"
    },
    {
      "download_url" : "www.test.com/files.zip",
      "options_url" : "www.test.com/.simbapackage",
      "notes" : "notes about this version",
      "time" : "unixtimestamp",
      "name" : "versionname"
    }
