Package: aptitude
Version: 0.6.4-1.2
Severity: wishlist
Hi,
It would be a nice feature to allow the cli install action flags (_, -, +) on
aptitude. May this could be made in the search-feature: if a action-char is
append, aptitude does not jump to the next match but applies this action to all
matches.
Greetings,
Michael

Hi Michael,

Hi,
It would be a nice feature to allow the cli install action flags (_,
-, +) on aptitude. May this could be made in the search-feature: if a
action-char is append, aptitude does not jump to the next match but
applies this action to all matches.
There is already a way to achieve this with limiting the view and
patterns.
You can limit the view with 'l' and a search pattern, and then in the
root of the subtree that matches, you can apply the action key to
perform the action on all packages from that subtree.
It needs a few extra keystrokes and may not be as quick for some
usecases, if you don't want to browse the packages at all. But in that
case, maybe one can use the equivalent in the command line anyway.
Revisiting and thinking a bit about this, I don't think that it's good
to implement this suggestion.
If this piggybacks on the search feature for example, typos could cause
inadvertent problems for many people more often than what they would
want to use the feature, even if they knew about that. Also, there's a
bunch of things to resolve, like what happens when the package names
themselves contain "+" for example, and when the action "+" classhes
with the special character "+" or searches or the real package.
The alternative for single packages (or many packages but each
separately) is just to type the package name to search, then enter, then
the action (instead of the proposed "package name plus action plus
enter"). So not much difference.
The alternative for multiple packages is what I suggested before, to
limit instead of searching and then applying the flag to a group of
packages.
So given the above and without more input to decide one way or the
other, I am marking it as +wontfix and closing, because after many years
opened it doesn't seem to get nearer to be implementated.
Cheers.
