Hello,
im getting tired to be forced to remember many different options for various package managers on different distros. so i did a little script that allows me to do like "asd install foo" on any distro i got that script installed, and it will install the package using the systems package manager.
so, before i hack this script to a better state, i was wondering does this kind of script/project already exist ?
Personally, I would rather remember own commands for each package manager, or, more likely, use a cheetsheet. I'm generally wary of putting abstraction layers where they can be avoided or relying on non-standard tools for tasks like system administration. That's why I don't use stuff like alias lls="ls -la" in my shell rc file - I would have to put this on every machine I touch lest I feel very awkward.
