I've packaged redstore to SD:Factory repos
(https://packages.sugarlabs.org/project/monitor?project=SweetsDistribution:Factory)
the package is "redstore" that provides "redstore" command and
"redstored" init.d script. I didn't make it autorun in case if you will use it in
the same way as Journal (and Sugar Network database), i.e., keep
database in ~/.sugar/<PROFILE> and start daemon from current user's
session.

To attach new repo, either do it manualy (from
http://download.sugarlabs.org/packages/SweetsDistribution:/Factory/) or
follow SD's regular way (http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sweets_Distribution).

btw, it might be useful to create SemanticXO package as well and make it
pluggable like it was done with Sugar Network (checkbox in "Sweets
Distribution" Control Panel component). i.e., it should regular DBus
service that provides the same Dbus API as sugar-datastore. If you will
do that, I think it will be possible to plug either sugar-datastore or
SemanticXO in runtime.
