Weibull is an obvious key word here and -findit weibull- points to
various resources, including -weibullfit- from SSC. Did you try that?
But the cdf of y that is a two-parameter Weibull is one line of Stata
gen F = 1 - exp(-((y/b)^c))
-- where b is a scale parameter and c is a shape parameter --
so it is not clear to me why you seek a package for it.
Your parameterisation may differ, but the formula is still simple.
-weibullfit- fits, and -qweibull- and -pweibull- offer standard
diagnostic plots for univariate fitting.
