Comment (by vdelecroix):
Hello,
Thanks for having a look.
I do not complain that `sage -i` has not been advertised. But I do that it
is documented nowhere (neither in `src/bin/sage` nor in `src/bin/sage-
pkg`)!
Currently we have the option `-optional`, `-standard` and `-experimental`.
I am just adding an additional `-installed`. We can be smarter and more
coherent by allowing multiple arguments and force to use the `-i` option
like in
{{{
$ sage -i --installed-only --optional --standard
... would list all installed package that are either ...
... optional or standard ...
$ sage -i --non-installed-only --all
... would list all non installed packages ...
}}}
I am in favour of a more coherent scheme of options, but then we should
forbid the older syntax (and instead write a deprecation message that
explains the new syntax).
And I definitely do not understand why we do have two scripts (`src/bin
/sage-spkg` and `src/bin/sage-list-packages`) for dealing with packages.
Morever the current state is that `sage-spkg` is used to list the
installed packages while `sage-list-packages` is the one to list the
optional packages...
Vincent
