Hi, I've got a bunch aptitude aliases in use which seem useful to me and I wonder if I should intergrate them into the aptitude source code somehow:
alias aptitude-just-recommended='aptitude -o "Aptitude::Pkg-Display-Limit=!?reverse-depends(~i) ( ?reverse-recommends(~i) | ?reverse-suggests(~i) ) !?reverse-recommends(^abe-) !?reverse-suggests(^abe-) ~M !?essential"' alias aptitude-also-via-dependency='aptitude -o "Aptitude::Pkg-Display-Limit=~i !~M ( ?reverse-depends(~i) | ?reverse-recommends(~i) | ?reverse-suggests(~i) ) !?essential"' alias aptitude-review-unmarkauto-libraries='aptitude -o "Aptitude::Pkg-Display-Limit=( ^lib !-dev$ !-dbg$ !-utils$ !-tools$ !-bin$ !-doc$ !-progs$ !-clients$ !-examples$ !^libreoffice | -data$ | -common$ | -base$ !^r-base ) !~M ~i"' alias aptitude-upgradable-to-experimental='aptitude -o "Aptitude::Pkg-Display-Limit=~i ?narrow(!~VCURRENT, ~Aexperimental)"' alias aptitude-upgradable-to-buildd='aptitude -o "Aptitude::Pkg-Display-Limit=~i ?narrow(!~VCURRENT, ~Abuildd)"' alias aptitude-newer-than-in-archive='aptitude -o "Aptitude::Pkg-Display-Limit=~i ?any-version(!~O.) !~U !~o"' # Affected by https://bugs.debian.org/814037 and https://bugs.debian.org/814038 alias aptitude-dpigs='aptitude -o "Aptitude::UI::Flat-View-As-First-View=true" -o "Aptitude::Pkg-Display-Limit=~i" -o "Aptitude::UI::Default-Sorting=installsize"' (taken from https://github.com/xtaran/zshrc/blob/master/zsh.d/50-alias#L197; I also blogged about some of them: http://noone.org/blog?-tags=aptitude) One idea is currently to ship them as ready-to-use (i.e. non-compressed and executable) shell scripts in /usr/share/doc/aptitude/examples/. Of course we could also ship them in /usr/bin/ which would raise their visibility. But then again, I'm not sure if it's worth to clutter /usr/bin/ with them. Another idea is to ship two scripts, maybe called 'aptitude-search-set' (CLI variant) and 'aptitude-view-set' (TUI variant) which take parameters like "just-recommended", "also-via-dependency", "not-marked-auto-libraries", "upgradable-to-experimental", "upgradable-to-buildd", "newer-than-in-archive" or "dpigs" and call aptitude with the appropriate parameters taken from some text file under /usr/share/aptitude/. Any comments?
