Devlog 3

Small changes have been made from JUN3-R6 to JUN4-R3. I was able to get the remove options done and bugs fixed in the “List installed packages” option (not all of them are fixed though).

I am planning to lock the .rpm to .Deb conversion utilities to experimental versions of this. Their version string is “JUN4-2026-R5-EXP” instead of “JUN4-2026-R5”, for example. This is because the alien utility I am using for it ends by dropping the user in a shell prompt (sh to be exact), which hangs the exit script, and if you run it within the sh shell and try the conversion again, it ends up being a APT, sh, and easyAPT instance and confliction mess that slows down your system and, in the worse case, is hard to regain control of.

I made a sample ./easyAPTmenu.sh that redirects to the ./easyAPT.sh. This is because I was tired of typing :!./ and the up key in the Vim editor EVERY SINGLE TIME I selected an option in the menu and the operation finished. I didn’t do this before because that’s 2 seconds of checks it makes that I have to wait for instead of instantly with the planned ACTUAL easyAPTmenu.sh file, which is coming soon.

This should take a few more days to finish up, and then I can finally make my README.md and my first Github release of easyAPT!

PS: nothing has changed with the menu, I just needed a graphic for the devlog and wanted to see how the menu would change over devlogs.
