Hello lucas, hisham and everyone else,
How about giving Compile the ability to show which recipes are available at the gobo store?
Here is a syntax proposal BUT keep in mind, this is just a proposal, there can be other ways; I am more interested in the functionality and less in the syntax (though syntax of course also matters):
Compile htop --versions?
The above currently fails with a message such as:
Compile: Unknown option: --versions?
I propose that Compile may instead output this:
"The following recipes are available for htop (showing not more than the 5 latest)"
Htop 2.0.2-r1
Htop 2.0.1-r1
Htop 2.0.0-r1
Htop 1.0.3-r1
Htop 1.0.2-r1
I mention "5 latest" or "five latest" because it should not spam the user with like when there are 20 recipes.
Reasoning for this feature:
- Well, I think this is again mostly out of convenience. Perhaps you may want to or have to install an older version, such as python 2 versus 3, or different glib versions and so forth. This would also work offline :D - admittedly when one can browse the web, this feature is not so useful, but it may be mostly a small convenience feature I'd think.
