Outdated rexify features need deprecation or replacement

Open ferki opened this issue 5 years ago • 0 comments

Describe the bug

Couple of features of the rexify binary is outdated by now, but not marked as deprecated (or not replaced with alternatives) yet, like:

  • --search
  • --use
  • perhaps even the JobControl commands?

How to reproduce it

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. use any of the above options with the rexify command

Shortest code example that demonstrates the bug: see above

Expected behavior

Features of the rexify command that are outdated, should be marked as deprecated and fail gracefully, and/or be replaced with equivalent functionality.

Perhaps --search could search on GitHub/MetaCPAN, and then --use could clone/install from there? See also this comment.

Circumstances

  • Rex version: 1.12.1
  • Perl version: any
  • OS running rex: any
  • OS managed by rex: any

Debug log

none
