zsh completion for aptly

Aptly is a great tool to setup Debian APT repositories and mirrors. However, it's sometimes hard to remember all the command line syntax and names of all options. Therefore I wrote this zsh completion modules for aptly.

License

This project is licensed under the terms of the MIT license. See file LICENSE for details.

Installation

Clone/copy the file _aptly to a place in your $fpath (show with echo $fpath), or create a new directory and extend the fpath:

mkdir -p ~/.zsh/functions
fpath=(~/.zsh/functions $fpath)
editor ~/.zsh/functions/_aptly

To profit most from the provided help messages and completions, make sure that your zsh is setup properly. I have tested with the grml-zsh configuration that is available on Github and on the grml homepage.

Compatibility

The command line completion was developed based on the manpage of aptly 1.2.0 (currently in Debian Testing). However, most completions will work on older versions (e.g., 0.9.7 in Debian Stable), too.

The completion function completes most arguments and options that can be passed to aptly, including mirror/repository/snapshot/publish names. However, not all arguments are handled yet. See the next section for known limitations.

Known Bugs and Limitation

  • Boolean options are always completed with an explicit value true or false, although omitting the value is implicitly interpreted as true.
  • The source and destination names of copy and move operations must not be the same. This is currently not enforced.
  • The package query and display format strings are currently not completed.
  • Endpoints are not completed.
  • In publish snapshot there is no connection between the number of components passed to -component and the number of given snapshots to publish. Furthermore, the help text for endpoint:prefix disappears after its first possible location.
  • In publish switch the distribution can be set independently of the endpoint:prefix (i.e., all published distributions can be combined with all published endpoint:prefix).
  • Neither publish switch nor publish update check if publish was created from a snapshot or directly from a local repo.
  • Task commands are not completed. There are no commas added.
  • help won't complete after a sub command (i.e., aptly mirror list help).
  • Probably more, feel free to open issues, and submit patches/merge requests.
