PackageKit-command-not-found is optional in comps. It is included in the desktop spin.
[edit] Detailed Description
The PackageKit-command-not-found package installs a handler to bash so that missing commands can be installed, or invalid commands can be corrected.
[edit] Benefit to Fedora
This feature will add the same functionality to Fedora as Ubuntu users have had for years.
[edit] Scope
This is a very small change in comps, so that the PackageKit-command-not-found package gets included in the default package set. It's already available in Fedora 11, but not installed by default.
[edit] How To Test
- Install
PackageKit-command-not-foundpackage usingyum install PackageKit-command-not-found - Restart the terminal, or log out and log in again
- Open a terminal (gnome-terminal works well)
- Type '
gedti /boot/grub/grub.conf', and verify output is:
Command not found. Similar command is: 'gedit'
- Ensure the powertop package is removed from the system. Then type '
powertop', and verify output is:
Command not found. Install package 'powertop' to provide command 'powertop'? [N/y]
You can edit system policy by changing the /etc/PackageKit/CommandNotFound.conf file.
[edit] User Experience
New users can get the package installed automatically when trying to use a new command. Experienced users can get spelling mistakes in commands automatically fixed.
[edit] Dependencies
PackageKit 0.4.x (already in F11)
[edit] Contingency Plan
Drop PackageKit-command-not-found from comps, and revert back to doing nothing when the command is not found.
[edit] Documentation
- http://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2008/12/05/command-not-found/
-
/etc/PackageKit/CommandNotFound.confhas fairly complete usage notes - There's a screencast here: http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/temp/pk-command-not-found.ogv
[edit] Release Notes
- PackageKit now provides a command-not-found handler for bash so that missing commands can be installed, or invalid commands can be corrected. To use this functionality, install the PackageKit-command-not-found package.
