I had 10 minutes of spare time:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Christians ten minute apt wrapper script for former swup users
#
operation=$1
shift
arguments=$@
argstring=""
for arg in $arguments; do
# FIXME:
# Here we should check if the argument starts with '--' and
# rather add those to operation, like:
# swup --install --poll-only --verbose foobar
argstring="$argstring $arg"
done
command="This operation is not yet supported."
case "$operation" in
'--install')
apt-get update
apt-get install $argstring
;;
'--upgrade')
apt-get update
apt-get -u dist-upgrade
;;
'*')
echo "'$operation' is not recognised."
;;
esac
# DONE
Save that as /usr/bin/swup and chmod 755. Then fix the FIXME that I
didn't have time or bash-skills to do within the given timespan, and
extend to include all commands needed. :) A small usage as well perhaps?
;) Ohh, yes, it's never been untested... :)
