MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for biicode [2]: Broken, not just because of totally incompetent packaging, missing half a dozen undeclared Python2 dependencies, but also because this is an online-only package manager tool, like the pacman -S functionality, or pip install [modulename], without an available server.
If someone installs the required Python2 packages, biicode just makes a web call to a nonexistent Heroku PaaS container with a hardcoded URL: https://biiserverproduction.herokuapp.com/ And then it does not do anything: all it responds every time is, even to the '--help' invocation: ERROR: None or bad command. Type "bii --help" for available commands The company that created biicode is defunct since 2015. This tool is dead without its online repository / metadata server. By the way the package bundles not just the client but the server as well, which is totally bogus. And also defunct, relying on a long-EOL mongodb server.
