Package: wajig
Version: 2.3
Severity: wishlist
Please reinstate wajig's simulation and teaching modes! They are incredibly
useful parts of
the package, empowering the user and building user knowledge and skills.
The 2.3 release notes justify their removal:
* The "--simulate" and "--teaching" options:
- they don't don't apply to a lot wajig commands
- they display ugly output
- I doubt if anyone will miss them
But we DO miss them!
The simulate mode is really essential -- it's very informative, and it doesn't
matter if
it's ugly. There are very frequent cases where it's extremely useful to know
the
consequences of an action before taking it. This has often saved me a lot of
grief.
The teaching mode is educational -- even if the output is ugly and incomplete.
We're trying
to learn about Debian's complex package managing system, and this mode gives us
the benefit
of an experienced user (wajig's author) training us to understand the system.
Please don't take away these very helpful modes! They don't have to be perfect
to be useful.
Cheers,
David

Description:
wajig - simple and unified package management for Debian
Closes: 665729 665887
Changes:
wajig (2.4) unstable; urgency=low
.
* README, TODO, NEWS: if doc path (/usr/share/doc/<package name>) for
a given package isn't found, check if such a package even exists.
* INSTALL, INSTALLSUGGESTED: make --recommends and --norecommends options
conflict.
* INSTALL: one can now specify a mixture of installables:
* deb files
* url files
* normal packages
Previously, only one of these types could be installed at a time
* make bash completer also complete lower-case COMMANDS;
patch by "Reuben Thomas" <[email protected]>
* Reinstate --simulate and --teaching options:
- the --simulate option implies that the epilogs of the --help option
are now redundant so they are now removed. All they did was state what
commands would be ran.
- the --teaching option is renamed to --teach (for sake of consistency)
- Closes: #665729
* LOCALUPGRADE remove:
- [ole] wajig LOCALUPGRADE
- [new] wajig UPGRADE --local
* LOCALDISTUPGRADE remove:
- [ole] wajig LOCALDISTUPGRADE
- [new] wajig DISTUPGRADE --local
* Fix an (embarassing) exception; Closes: #665887
