 |
|
Hey,
I´ve one perhaps stupid question.
Is somebody interested in rewriting https://github.com/ConnerWill/yayfzf (yayfzf is an AUR package fzf finder to search, install, remove, and manage packages using yay ) for portage? I´ve tried, but it wasn´t usable.
Best regards |

What's the specific desired functionality you don't find in Gentoo?

At least you can have fuzzy search: | man emerge: | --fuzzy-search [ y | n ]
Enable or disable fuzzy search for search
actions. When fuzzy search is enabled, a
result is returned if it is sufficiently
similar to the search string, without re‐
quiring an exact match. This option is en‐
abled by default. Fuzzy search does not
support regular expressions, therefore it
is automatically disabled for regular ex‐
pression searches. Fuzzy search is slightly
slower than non-fuzzy search. |
... but personally I've always used qsearch and when needed the pipe its output to some parser like grep.
BTW ... Is there a fuzzy-grep?
... There was something like it: agrep

| Doesn't really make sense to rewrite a wrapper script that is specifically crafted for those two package management tools, as most of the actual functionality comes from those. |

Nothing special, it would be nice to have it in my i3wm environment .
I thought someone is able to rewrite the yay commands easily 
Thanks for answering, i try it at home tonight.  |

| Are you asking for a command you can run on Gentoo that searches the AUR repository or are you asking for a command that searches Gentoo's Portage tree, and provides an interface that a user of yayfzf would find familiar? |

Hey Hu,
no I will use it on my gentoo machine, if I change Line 294
| Code: | | --preview 'cat <(yay -Si {1}) <(yay -Fl {1} | awk "{print \$2}")' \ |
to | Code: | | --preview 'cat <(eix {1}) <(qlist {1} | awk "{print \$2}")' \ |
and line | Code: | yay \
-Ss "${SearchInput}" \
--singlelineresults \
--color "${COLOR_WHEN}" \
--bottomup 2>/dev/null |
grep \ |
to | Code: | eix \
--compact "${SearchInput}" \
--only-names \
--color "${COLOR_WHEN}" 2>/dev/null |
grep \ |
I have usable portage browser with intergrated eix search (I think it´s faster than qsearch), but I want to translate the arch commands to gentoo machine for using it with eix,qsearch,qlist,emaint,emerge or whatever. |

Sounds like a good fun exercise. One thing you can do is share it or share problematic snippets and ask people to help you with the particular issues you experience.

I´ve tried to rewrite something, it´s partially working, search via regex ctrl+i to select and ctrl+x to install.
Rewrite yayfzf to pwrfzf (portage wrapper) for naming confusion
Problems are:
- Selected multiple pkgs, ctrl+x only want to install one pkg
- Start at bottom and not first line
- Used sudo (Later will change to doas, or do a root check, I don´t know)
I´ve uploaded code to https://github.com/spikyatlinux/pwrfzf.git, feel free to help |
