I am trying to do a universal installer to have a single-entry point to install everything. For now it only uses apt-get and npm, but I intend to add ruby, composer/pear, etc My code is available on pastie: http://pastie.org/5576471
Basically allows to do: "inst inkscape" -> "sudo apt-get install inkscape" "inst -n express" -> "npm install express" "inst -i inkscape" -> "apt-cache show inkscape" "inst -in express" -> "npm show express" The file is used both to call the installers and to add an autocomplete function to bash (when using the --autocomplete flag) so calling "source inst --autocomplete" adds the autocomplete command I am having trouble getting the auto-complete to work correctly; I am not that good at bash scripting. Tried modifying the lines found in the bash_complete.d/npm, but it didn't work. An added difficulty (for me) is that: 1 - I need to access only the packages names, since I don't care about completing the npm commands. 2 - I need to strip out all flags and arguments, since a command could be "inst --info --npm exp" (so I need to remove --info and --npm and add in "show") I am aware that I could do "npm search /^$packageName" and get the results, but it's too verbose and needs to connect, whereas the npm auto-complete seems to be instantaneous (correct me if I am wrong?) I would love some help, because I am really not figuring this out. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
