If you love the command line as much as I do, you'll probably want to do as many neat things as a GUI user can do. One of the first things I searched for as a new linux user, is a way to use the trash can, which helps prevent permanent deletion of files that you realized you still needed.
As of this writing, per pkgs.org, trash-cli is not packaged for Mageia 3. However, I found very easy instructions to install it at the github home page for trash-cli (https://github.com/andreafrancia/trash-cli)
Here is what to do:
- Code: Select all
(You can use the M3 standard DVD for this install, I had mine inserted and it retrieved the packages from there)
# urpmi python-setuptools
# easy_install trash-cli
I never used this easy_install before, and I thought I might have to download a tar file or something to install it with, but easy_install gets the software from online. Nice.
If this ends up being packaged for Mageia, please make a post here. It's not a high priority I think, I don't know many people who are as obsessed with the CLI as I am.
