Request more tools on Arch boxes (no mosh edition)
This is everything from !481 (closed) minus mosh
, which is controversial. Even if it does get approved it would need special handling like firewall rules, so I decided isolating it will make this easier to review and move forward.
From original MR:
While I was adding that, I also noticed my favorite diff viewer,
delta
is not available. Seeing as howbat
andcolordiff
and similar tools are, I figured it wouldn't hurt to suggest that too.The
myrepos
perl script is great for managing functions across an assortment of repositories (whether svn/git/whatever). This is already proving quite useful to keep track of various modules in sparse svn repository checkouts.The odds and ends in
moreutils
are things I find useful while messing about with packaging on a daily basis.Lastly I saw GNU
stow
is there for dotfile management, but I usevcsh
and would like to request it. Others might appreciateyadm
,chezmoi
, or others but perhaps adding them when somebody is actually going to use them is better so I didn't add them. VCSH at least can be 'installed' from user space –which I'm happy to do for use in managing shell aliases, editor rc files, etc.– but it seems like I might not be the only one that would find it useful.
