Hi guys. I want to make a command-line all-in-one package manager, which will check to see if you are using Ubuntu, Arch, Gentoo, etc. Then, you can use one command to install, upgrade, and search for packages. But what's the point? Why bother? I don't know.
Here's a basic design moder:
1) I will probably write this in Bash, unless anyone has a better solution.
2) I want to have one command, probably UPM (Universal Package Manager) which will interface with Portage, apt-get, yum, pacman, etc.
3) You will use switchers to search, install, update repositories, and upgrade packages. Something like upm -i firefor to install FireFox.
But I can't rationalize with myself. I don't anticipate people using it, yet there is a compulsion to make it. And does anyone have a better design model? I'm open to ideas.
