[Documentation] tap list returns more than just installed packages

Open bryce-carson opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Steps to reproduce:

  1. tap --help and note the below text. https://github.com/hwittenborn/tap/blob/d8704743db7880aa36b7a05ee9e951c2ea7890b7/tap/cfg.py#L35
  2. tap list and observe that uninstalled (but known) packages are listed.

What I expected to happen: tap list lists only packages that are installed.

tap list should only list installed packages, such as apt list --installed does.

For what it's worth, tap list -im or longhand tap list --installed --mpr-only does this.

Yep. Just clarifying the usage statement could be a small improvement.

Changing to "List packages" rather than "list installed packages" is another alternative, if the default is to list all packages.
