Feature changed by: Dr. Werner Fink <werner@novell.com> Feature #303730, revision 11 Title: Add "command not found" handling to the shell openSUSE-11.1: Done Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Important SLED-11: Done Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Important SLES-11: Done Priority Requester: Mandatory Projectmanager: Important Requested by: Federico Lucifredi <flucifredi@novell.com> Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Ubuntu has a very friendly message when one types the name of an executable coming from a package not installed: "the program fulano can be found in the following packages: * foo * bar * baz try: apt-get install <package>" now that we will have the pool channels online, we can leverage them, and make things friendlier for entry-level users. Discussion: #1: Federico Lucifredi <flucifredi@novell.com> (2008-04-25 15:17:08) this was implemented as part of hack-week: http://urtax.ms.mff.cuni.cz/~stick/stick/projects/command-not-found/ #2: Thorsten Kukuk <kukuk@novell.com> (2008-06-30 15:16:58) Sounds usefull to me (but I have to admit more for SLED and openSUSE) and it does not lok like as if it would make scripts, especially login/start scripts, slower. #3: Hendrik Vogelsang <hvogel@novell.com> (2008-07-11 15:06:24) We will add support for the package into bash. We will not maintain the scout package. That will be done by Vladimir. #4: Pavol Rusnak <prusnak@novell.com> (2008-07-23 16:40:56) Scout is maintained in openSUSE BuildService - home:prusnak:scout project http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/prusnak:/scout/ #5: Dr. Werner Fink <werner@novell.com> (2008-07-24 16:49:23) I've added the patch for scout support #6: Pavol Rusnak <prusnak@novell.com> (2008-07-25 23:36:23) Werner: could you also add Provides: bash(CommandNotFound) or something similar? So packages could require bash with this feature enabled + #7: Dr. Werner Fink <werner@novell.com> (2008-07-28 12:12:31) (reply to + #6) + Why should I do this? There is only *one* bash and this includes now this + feature. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/?rm=feature_show&id=303730
