Issue with grep
Closed this issue · 3 comments
I was really happy when I saw this project and think it can have lots of uses. I always thought that the packagers are useless. Wherever it's apt-get or yum they never thought a --user option would be useful and you can only run those programs if you own the machine and are sudo on it. Trying to compile software always ends in tears as you chase one dependency after an other.
As I see it we have gone through over a decade of developer and system administrator centric software distribution and it might only start changing to a user-centric model.
Developers are often against static linking, but that's what every user wants !
I was unable to compile tmux on the server I'm using (it has SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP3) so I tried this command, but it didn't work:
xapple@sisu ~ $ sh <(wget -qO- s.minos.io/s) -s -v tmux
Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]...
Try `grep --help' for more information.
This command did work perfectly however:
xapple@sisu ~ $ sh <(wget -qO- http://s.minos.io/s) -x tmux-2.1
Hello Lucas,
I agree with your comments, and although I don't think static binaries are the perfect panacea they have indeed their use cases.
Thank you for the catch =), I'll provide a fix ASAP, although due to a busy schedule it could take some days. In the meantime you can use:
sh <(wget -qO- s.minos.io/s) -v -s tmux #-s stands for search [pattern]
To search for packages.
Best regards,
JL
