feat: rewrite in nushell

[Elsie19]

We still need a way to add i18n. Done.

[ajstrongdev]

What did you search..? I need reproducible input.

rpk search discord

[Elsie19]

Wait you said this was in a docker container?

[Elsie19]

We determined the issue only happens in a docker container.

Testing

Install nutext

Nutext is the nu plugin I made that enables us to bring gettext functionality to nu programs.

To install it, first clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/Elsie19/nu_plugin_nutext

cd into it and run:

make build
sudo make install

Installing rpk2

rpk2 is the actual program.

To install it, first clone the repo:

git clone -b nushell https://github.com/rhino-linux/rhino-pkg

cd into it and run:

sudo make install

And you should be all good for testing!

Notes

1. Do not run in a docker container if you are testing snap functionality or if snap is installed in it at all, because it will hang

---

Reverting/uninstalling

Uninstalling

Nutext

To uninstall nutext, go back into the cloned nu_plugin_nutext project and run:

sudo make uninstall

rpk2

This is harder because it likely overwrote your bash rpk, and I haven't tested exactly, but reinstalling rpk should do the trick:

pacstall -I rhino-pkg-git
sudo rm -rf /usr/share/rhino-pkg/

[Elsie19]

Other stuff

We will have to keep nushell-bin, rhino-pkg-git, and nutext-bin tightly coupled, moreso nutext-bin and nushell-bin, as we will need to update nutext-bin for every nushell update.

[ajstrongdev]

One issue is that the program can't detect the nutext plugin, causing an exception.

[Elsie19]

Apparently you need to add the plugin in a nu shell before being able to run it. I will look more into it.

A few issues:

• Unexpected behaviors when not giving a number as an input.
• No rpk help command. It seems like you copy/pasted rpk help output to rpk -h, which presents issues. Furthermore it seems like auto-generated help information displays beneath this
• Using apt-remove instead of apt autoremove
• Running rpk without arguments returns an error, when it should return the content of the help command.

What i mean by the first point:

• When running rpk install discord and I select no options, it will say "selecting discord from snap" and then... fail?
• When running rpk remove discord and I press enter without putting a number in, it throws an error.

Please ensure that rpk2 has consistent functionality with the first rpk.

That cannot be turned off btw.

There is no rpk help command. You are confusing this behavior with the catch-all flag:

rhino-pkg/rhino-pkg

Lines 200 to 203 in 0b7fc65

	*)
	echo "$help_flag"
	exit 1
	;;

• Using apt-remove instead of apt autoremove

That's not a command, unless you meant apt auto-remove:

rhino-pkg/rhino-pkg

Line 284 in 0b7fc65

sudo apt --fix-broken install && sudo apt auto-remove -y

In which case those are the same in apt.

Ok.

sudo apt --fix-broken install && sudo apt auto-remove -y

Took you 2 months to figure out apt-remove isn't a command, hope it doesn't take as long to figure out that you replied to AJ's typo with a link to the old bash code that you typoed in the first place:

rhino-pkg/modules/lib/cmd.nu

Line 122 in 90edb60

^sudo apt-get apt-remove

Don't keep asking me to test the code if you haven't done bare minimum testing yourself. rpk cleanup is all you had to run. And given the link above, it is evident you haven't tested this basic functionality since at least before you even opened this PR.

[ajstrongdev]

Firstly there is no rpk help command, running rhino-pkg will also throw an error. Running either rhino-pkg with no arguments OR rhino-pkg help should provide useful output to help the user as is the default behavior of the current rhino-pkg implementation.

Running rpk cleanup gives output in these weird boxes with no data contained inside of them:

Information actually does get formatted into a box on rpk remove as well:

Even more urgent is the fact that there are seemingly no checks for whether Nala is installed on the system. I didn't find any skimming the code, nor does it check when testing. Fix this.

Greetings,

I am the user behind the backup and recovery ideas, which you can find here: #57 . I would be glad to continue the project and transfer those functions to this rewrite. I’d also like to contribute to the project, so I would appreciate your assistance in setting it up on my PC.

Additionally, creating an app store version of this project seems like a great idea to me. This way, we can develop and maintain Rhino Linux's app store, similar to other distributions out there—take openSUSE's YaST, for example, which I greatly admire. I can try to build a very basic beta version soon so we can start working on it. Eventually, we could offer this app store to the world under Rhino Linux's name.

Best regards,

devtracer
