Bug#1098361: ITP: golang-github-ergochat-readline -- readline implementation in pure Go
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Guillem Jover <gjover@sipwise.com>
* Package name : golang-github-ergochat-readline
Version : 0.1.3-1
Upstream Author : ergo.chat
* URL : https://github.com/ergochat/readline
* License : Expat
Programming Lang: Go
Description : readline implementation in pure Go
This is a pure Go implementation of functionality comparable to GNU Readline
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Readline), i.e. line editing and command
history for simple TUI programs.
.
It is a fork of chzyer/readline (https://github.com/chzyer/readline).
.
* Relative to the upstream repository, it is actively maintained and
has numerous bug fixes and improvements (see docs/CHANGELOG.md).
See the migration guide (docs/MIGRATING.md) for advice on how to
migrate from upstream.
* Relative to x/term (https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/term), it has
more features (e.g. tab-completion).
The upstream this was forked from (packaged in Debian as
golang-github-chzyer-readline), seems dead upstream, and projects seem to
be switching over to this module.
This is also a new dependency for VictoriaMetrics.
Thanks,
Guillem
