[Package Request] - just
What package is missing from Amazon Linux 2023? Please describe and include package name. just - https://github.com/casey/just
Is this an update to existing package or new package request? No.
Is this package available in Amazon Linux 2? If it is available via external sources such as EPEL, please specify. No. Yes, it's in upstream Fedora. https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/rust-just
Any additional information you'd like to include. (use-cases, etc) just is a command runner similar to make but with much more awesomeness. All the cool kids are using it! :P
just has a ton of useful features, and many improvements over make:
- just is a command runner, not a build system, so it avoids much of make's complexity and idiosyncrasies. No need for .PHONY recipes!
- Linux, MacOS, and Windows are supported with no additional dependencies. (Although if your system doesn't have an sh, you'll need to choose a different shell.)
- Errors are specific and informative, and syntax errors are reported along with their source context.
- Recipes can accept command line arguments.
- Wherever possible, errors are resolved statically. Unknown recipes and circular dependencies are reported before anything runs.
- just loads .env files, making it easy to populate environment variables.
- Recipes can be listed from the command line.
- Command line completion scripts are available for most popular shells.
- Recipes can be written in arbitrary languages, like Python or NodeJS.
- just can be invoked from any subdirectory, not just the directory that contains the justfile.
Any workaround till the issue will be resolved? Could the ubuntu instance used in this case instead?
Can install from source, but, it's already a fedora package so this should be a no brainer / quick win to add to Amazon Linux.
It would be nice to have this package available in the base image. Thank you.
Thank you for your patience. This package is now available as part of the SPAL Repository for AL2023. Please use these resources to familiarize yourself on installing SPAL repository and the packages. SPAL Technical Documentation, SPAL list of packages.
