doawoo / teex Goto Github PK

Hi, @doawoo. Were you aware of the name collision with the widely-distributed tex typesetting system? (Among other things, it's what LaTeX and other things are based on.) It's /usr/bin/tex on my system, and that will be true for a lot of other people as well, since TeX is quite widely used and often comes installed by default with an operating system.

Best regards,

It would be great if you could specify a version string like you can inside the mix.exs file, something like ~> 1.1.0 to ensure you receive all the newest minor release updates into your workspaces.

Then you could run something like teex workspace update my_workspace to auto-upgrade all packages in the workspace!

Something like teex list or teex inspect (up for votes) that could provide a nice formatted list of workspaces, and what libraries are installed in them.

ie:

~$ teex inspect

my_workspace:
  * jason 1.2.1
  * something_else 3.2.1
...

Much like how you can pip freeze > requirements.txt it would be fantastic to easily ship around workspaces in some human-readable format, Then you could call some command like teex import ./requirements.teex to auto-provision a workspace.

Perhaps this could be helpful for distributing software/scripts that utilize teex.
