List of commands that we want to implement in command line utility.
install {coordinate}- Installs package given by{coordinate}.uninstall {coordinate}- Uninstalls package given by{coordinate}.list- list installed packages
- Have some form of sanity checking on Package Coordinates. Mostly to make sure people do not come up with divergent schemes.
- Add MD5 checksum for all files in a package
- Add verification step to the unpacking process
- verify checksums
- ensure required files are present
- Support for authentication (Basic-auth? What does Maven use?)
- Support for multiple concurrent downloads
- Support for resuming paused/interrupted download
- Support for graceful cancelling of download
- Support for multiple software repositories
- Support for listing packages available from package repository
-
Support for bundles. A bundle is a meta-package that represents several packages.
The purpose of a bundle is to make it easier to install entire systems with just one command eg.:copkg install com.comoyo:svod-bundle:2.0 -
Support for exporting a list of installed packages as list or as a bundle artifact. This can be used to clone setups or to export setups easily as bundles. Eg.:
-
List installed packages and ssh to otherhost and install the list of packages there.
copkg list | ssh otherhost copkg install - -
List installed packages and use the package list to create a bundle artifact.
copkg list -bundle com.comoyo:svod-snapshot-bundle:2.3.4
