Thank you C Anthony, good point:
With version 0.0.7, it now has the capability to run completely graphically.
It will prompt the user for a searchfilename or searchTerm via the console
or zenity --entry if the name or term is omitted from the cli. So now all
the user needs to do to run this as a pure gui-app is create a launcher on
the desktop pointing to:
srch2list -z -n
and a text entry dialog appears prompting for the filename or term and the
results are then returned in a graphical list with checkboxes that allow the
user to select which packages they would like to install and it then
installs the selected packages with pacman.
I don't know if this is something that can be cannibalized to make pacman
-SS more readable or whether you guys would want it as an AUR standalone.
That's up to you now. I'm done with what I wanted to do with it -- and the
little guy turned out quite handy.
Let me know what, if anything, you want to see done with it and I'll do it.
P.S. As for forums -- no thank you, that's all I need -- more web pages to
visit where you have no assurance of finding what you need or of getting a
competent response. In the past I've found forums to be not much more than
the blind-leading-the-blind. I'm sure Arch's is one of the best, but I
dislike forums. I'll do private email long before a forum. They have just
never worked for me.
well that might be a little too general; i read/reply to forums, and
there are many quality solutions and contributors.
let me rephrase: i think the idea is good, it's just that the thread
is 20+ replies already. the mailing lists are better suited for arch
(official/specific) help/requests/proposals... the forums (or another
avenue, like an off-topic mailing list) is more suited to discussion
of loosely-related scripts like this.
no offense intended whatsoever (like i said i think the idea is
sound), but basically, i don't want to hear about it, unless it's
being requested for inclusion into pacman mainline ;-)
just my 2c.
C Anthony
