The installation progress status... is now "a living one"!

Improved the installation process (option -i or install) by showing the progress bar (shown in dots) in real time!

SYNTAX

am -i $PROGRAM

or

appman -i $PROGRAM

No other words... just watch (or test by yourself):

simplescreenrecorder-2024-04-22_00.35.05.mkv.mp4

this was made possible by appling some patches to the installation scripts to silence unwanted messages.

To remove the patches and watch the real installation progress with all messages, use the command

am -i --debug $PROGRAM

or

appman -i --debug $PROGRAM

Among other changes

  • show messages in option -u in case no app is updatable or updated
  • excluded am from the list of installed apps in -l (its not installable with itself, but it can be only "managed", so it is shown in -f instead)
  • removed the sub-option --libs from -l, and any reference of it, installable libraries will be found using -q
  • the option -f now uses the function "_check_version" from the main CLI, already used in other options (-u, -l and -i)
  • fixed various bugs in the installation scripts (and in paticular the new ones)
  • the installation scripts number for the x86_64 architecture is now 1976
  • first steps to help AppTUI (an GUM-based unofficial UI frontend for "AM"/AppMan) to be a reality
