It seems that commandbox is more related to forgebox. However there are great coldfusion application that reside in riaforge.
Are there any plans to let developer install packages also from riaforge in the next future?
No.
RIAForge has no concept of RESTFul apis that adhere to our standards, or even any at all.
If they ever build a RESTFul service than can provide downloads, then maybe.
So far, ForgeBox is the place to go.

To add to what Luis said, we have planned to allow CommandBox users to add additional registries for the install command to lookup projects. This will allow people to write their own adapters to query any back end package repository whether it’s a corporate internal repo, GitHub, or a local file server.
But what Luis said is still true-- any back end system will need to have a way to programmatically search for package/version and download it. Most other CF code sharing websites were built for web/HTML/Browser-consumption only. Also, dependency management, and install location will not be controllable unless the package conforms to the box.json standard.
That may seem obtuse, but look at communities like Node. Their community has banded together around one registry and standard and they have over 80 thousands packages all hosted on NPM and every single one uses package.json. It’s that solidarity that lets any Node dev on the planet install any other bit of code that any other node dev on the planet has written.
Please see forwarded email. Thx!
Good for Ray! Once we roll out the ability to write adapters for other registries, we will welcome someone to write a wrapper for riaforge.
Thanks!

Look at this: GitHub - tkelley/CommandBox-RIAForge: CommandBox commands for accessing RIAForge.org.
Seems a first start to include riaforge packages.
Great! Post it on ForgeBox as a command.

It’s been a while since I worked on that code, but I think I was running into problems with the RiaForge API. If I remember correctly, it limited the number of projects returned for a category. I’ll see if I can play with it a little bit tonight and get a little more info.
