Which command-line handlers do you use most?

Hi all,

I'm starting to port / reimplement existing command line handlers using Clap. There's a dozen, but I wonder which ones are the most relied upon, because it's a good opportunity for refactoring the command line API as a whole and simplifying it or at least making it more orthogonal.

For instance I discovered there is a "perform" command, which is sort of redundant with the "eval" one. Similarly there are both a "configuration" and a "metacello" handlers which seem to have the same exact purpose…

Since Clap can exist besides the current command-line handlers, we can have a deprecation period to minimize breakage and leave time for people to adapt before we kill old command line handlers for real.

Hi Damien,

I use one custom 'drgeo' handler in Dr. Geo to load sketch and script

I did not tested in P7, but it seems to break, not CommandHandler fault
though, more other P7 obsoleted or removed classes/protocols.

Thanks To remind me on that, I should writes tests there.

Most used: eval, config, st (default to run script.st)

Please make sure to stay as compatible as possible, lots of CI and server deploy/run code depends on it.

Do you ever use the metacello one instead of config?

I intend to provide similar features and a path for migrating with minimal headaches, but there are several idiosyncrasies that I hope to get rid of as well.

I guess the big users of deploy/run code will come see me at ESUG and we can see what's best ;-)

Does the metacello cmd line option work for git based projects? I could never work it out and always reverted to a script, but would be handy if it does work.
