Hello world. As this is a discuss mailing list, lets discuss something
about swup. I hope some developer or something to see this.
I was playing around with swup and I realized that it misses two (in my opinion)
important things.
First, swup has : (from --help)
--list-latest List all packages available from servers
--list-new Like list-latest, but only list those not installed
--list-alien List packages that are alien compared to the
configured repositories
--list-downgrade List packages that have a higher local version than
remote compared to the configured repositories
--list-upgrade List packages that would be installed in upgrade mode
That's cool ok, but a noob admin or just someone with curiosity cant
see the already
installed packages. It should had to have a --list-installed or
something like that
to can see what already installed packages we have on the system ?
(maybe we can find something that we dont want to exist)
And the second one, there is no confirmation anywhere. I first
installed both cyrus and courier because I had problem and I didnt
know what to use. And then trying to remove cyrus I saw that is had to
remove courier and cyrus both imap (why?) from that point I realized
that it (swup) should have a confirmation (yes/no) if it should delete
something or not at least on remove or in every option.
Any opinions ?
Thanks
