2, use fzf. i don't use it (yet?) but it should be something like:
I decided to download fzf and play with this since the itch grabbed
me... It took all of 5 seconds for me to remember a bunch of
packages with a "-" in the name, so came up with this instead:
cyginst() { # install cygwin package(s) from the commandline, can't do *-src
_pkg=$(cygcheck -p "$1" \
| grep "$1" \
| fzf --multi --reverse \
| sed -E 's_-[0-9]+.*$__' \
| tr '\n' ',' \
| sed 's_,$__')
/setup-x86_64.exe --packages "$_pkg"
}
Since this would whack -src, I tried to figure out how to install
just a source package from the commandline to see if this would
matter but couldn't figure it out, so I guess the -I option is there
for a reason.
But I came across a weirdity with setup (2.908). While you can
change the mode into download (-D) only or local-install (-L) via
commandline, I couldn't figure out how to change it back to "install
from the internet" from the commandline. I think there should be a
parameter for this, but heck if I I have any idea about C++ (I can
barely spell it).
At a minimum, it seems that the code currently is in contradiction to
the --help output: once you choose -L or -D, that becomes the default
mode for subsequent runs. Until explicitly changed back by running
setup and clicking the appropriate button on the second dialog. It
looks like the "last-action" setting in /etc/setup/setup.rc controls
what is used as the default: "Download", "Install" (local install)
and "Download, Install" (internet install). The expected behavior
would be as the --help output describes.
Cheers!
