eopkg-deps's Issues

Feature Request: Accept true/false in conjunction with yes/no for done

Support broader truthiness and falseness by allowing true and false to passed to done. For example, currently writing eopkg-deps done libinput true just says it must be some flavor of (Y)es or (N)o.

Add helpful hint when user tries to use eopkg-deps on Stable/Shannon?

I just ran eopkg-deps on stable and it complained about the Unstable index file not being present.

What this really means (as far as I can tell) is that the user is not running unstable and that he should be.

Maybe add a hint to the error message with something like "eopkg-deps was designed to be run on the Solus Unstable package repo. Refer to $URI for details"?

Add ability to filter for specific items (include / exclude)

This is a feature request to add the ability to filter for specific items, or exclude them, when performing the following subcommands: fwd, rev, ow, such as via flags -i / --include and -e / --exclude. When it's set to an empty string (default value), no package name include / exclude would be performed and thus retain the current behavior.

Use case: I'm updating gstreamer-1.0 and only want to see the reverse dependencies that are other gstreamer-1.0 packages, such as gstreamer-1.0-plugins-bad. Now while I could technically just pipe the output of eopkg-deps into grep, I may lose out on all the fancy output that's being done, instead of just being able to run something like eopkg-deps rev gstreamer-1.0 -i 'gstreamer-' or eopkg-deps rev gstreamer-1.0 -e 'gst'

Feature Request: List total number of forward or reverse deps at end of list

At the moment, fwd and rev do not provide a total number of forward or reverse dependencies at the end of the list of packages, leading to the need to tally those up with grep like a pleb.
