Description:
The following commands do not set the ballerina active distribution properly.
sudo bal dist pull slalpha1
sudo bal dist use slalpha1

sudo bal version command returns the following output.

Ballerina Swan Lake Beta 1
Language specification 2021R1
Update Tool 1.3.5

Also, I can't use bal commands without sudo. Running commands without sudo gives permission denied: bal error.

Steps to Reproduce
Download Ballerina Swan Lake Beta 1 (linux deb) from https://ballerina.io/downloads/ and install.

Affected Versions:
Ballerina Swan Lake Beta 1

OS, DB, other environment details and versions:
Ubuntu 20.04.2

Description:
Usually Ballerina installation directory does not have write permissions. This will be checked in pull and update commands and complain users initially.

There are some scenarios like following homebrew installation where it has write permissions for installation directory but does not have write permissions for dependency directory. Update tool complains when trying to extract after downloading dependency. It should check and complain initially before downloading anything for better UX.

Reported by Kirill Keker on slack

When you install Ballerina on MacOS, the Root user password is asked during installation to create the /Library/Ballerina folder - this is normal.

Then, when executing the bal update or bal dist update commands, sudo access is also requested because these commands want to get the entry in /Library/Ballerina that belongs to Root.

If after that you did not have the ~/.ballerina folder or you deleted it, then it will be created as root in your folder and you will not have write access. The same will happen if you run sudo bal dist use.In order not to start your rights, if there is only one user on the PC (like mine), then it is better to execute sudo chown -R $USER /Library/Ballerina after installing Ballerina - this command will correct the rights on the user and there will be no more confusion with the rights, no longer have to use sudo and think about which folder belongs to whom.

Current user experience

• Currently if existing users downloads an installer and installed new version it still keeps users current version without updating it. User has to manually execute dist use command and set the installed version.
• We cannot update users current version as installer will be executed as root user and we cannot access users current version which is stored in user home at ~/.ballerina/ballerina-version.

Proposed work around to fix this

• Currently we keep new installed version in <Installation location>/distributions/ballerina-version. If user deletes user home ballerina-version, tool will switch to installed version.
• Therefore we can use update tool java code to update user home ballerina-version with new installed ballerina-version with a new check.
• New check is a new file like installation-version which could a new uuid which stored separately. We cannot use update tool version (0.8.10) to this there could be new releases with same update tool version
• During the installation both ballerina-version and installation-version file is stored in installed location
• Currently update tool copies ballerina-version to user home if it doesn't exist. During the same step we can copy installation-version file to user home.
• In the update tool when it checks ballerina-version we can additionally check installation version in the user home and installed location is same, if not update tool will replace both installation-version and ballerina-version of user of with the files in installed location

Description:
bal.bat update results in a string of errors that, clearly, are triggered by something going wrong with windows understanding the command – install.bat from the new download, I believe – to be run to emplace the new version of the update tool.

I'm not sure the problem doesn't originate earlier, though, since the start of the problem is:

C:\Users\danie>bal update

"2019," was unexpected at this time.
'2' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Given that the bundled update tool with the swan lake beta2 install is 1.3.6, it seems like the attempt to downgrade is probably also a bug.

Full output from my system: bal-update-fail.txt

Steps to reproduce:

1. Download swan-lake-beta2 from ballerina.io
2. unpack anywhere; this happened with both the MSI installer in the default location and the zip install in ~/opt/ballerina
3. restart terminal emulator to get the new PATH in place, or whatever floats your boat there.
4. run bal update or bal.bat update
   • reproduces for me with powershell 7, and with cmd.exe, so isn't dependent on the initial command processor
5. watch the system not cope.
6. realise that it did successfully delete the ballerina-command jar, but didn't put the new one in, so broke the install as well. :)

Description:
We need to do following improvements to current bal dist list command

• Limit number of remote distributions in 1.x channel to show last 10 releases, if all the distributions need to be listed bal dist list -a should be used. Here we treat 1.0.x, 1.1.x and 1.2.x similar level
• Local distributions we list the full list as previous even without separating channels
• Release name has been removed and only version number is kept and mark the -latest release in each channel
• Swan lake Preview, Beta, Alpha need to be removed upon releasing Swan lake GA
