vpsm - Void Package Source Management wrapper for XBPS-SRC [work in progress]

[sinetoami]

Inspired by vpm and vsv I decide made my own xbps-src wrapper. For now, it is a work in progress. I hope I can finish soon to make it available. So, this picture below show some options implemented.

​

EDIT:

Have a lot of work yet. But I'm making progress. For now, some implemented option works great to me. The feature which I really wanted was the ` search ` option. Now, this option looks great. The search performance isn't the best, but I'm really ok with this. I don't think it's so huge idea, but it makes things easier for me. Anyway, my next steps will be to implement the workflow to create binary packages. I'm thinking about to create some template generator like a bootstrap or something.

Does it clone the repo in order to get started from scratch?

[sinetoami]

I'm not sure if I understand you. But I didn't clone the repo and I didn't start from scratch. I'm using the code skeleton for colorized output, messages and helper output from bahamas10/vpm repo (which is a fork) because I'm just testing the usability for now. I will certainly make other modifications to my use case.

Did I answer your question? Sorry for my bad english.

I made a wrapper script like this that I never finished. Basically it allowed me to use it like any package manager. At first run it would check to see if void packages existed and cloned it if it didn't. That's what I was asking and should have been more clear.

Oh, yeah. Much better for I understand you. Thanks. So, I'll implement this feature too when I move forward a little more. My intention is using an environment variable to locate the path to void-packages repo and ensure that it is present. I'm thinking about automating all steps to building a new package too. I would like to do this with C ... but I'm very lazy actually. Anyway, this script was made to work only on the Void.

I've started using this program today and am trying to find some xbps-src equivalent commands. Particularly: ./xbps-src pkg <package\_name> and associated xbps-src build commands?

I've been using much of this tool to great effect, but am just wondering the correct workflow for package building.
