This is good to hear. What would be cool is to eventually be able to download calc files from any big site via one single client
I could have sworn I replied to this back in February.
But that is indeed the goal!
*resurrects this thread yet again*
After growing impatient with myself, I've finally released calcpkg v2.0, three years after the last release to ticalc.org.
If you've read above, you're probably aware of some of the changes that have been sitting on
github for quite a while, but to summarize...
-Calcpkg is now installable through pip! "pip install calcpkg" is probably the fastest way to get it, though I've updated the ticalc.org and Cemetech archives with the new release.
As a consequence of this, setuptools is now a dependency. Sorry.
-Support for Cemetech and Omnimaga, with an extensible system enabling more community site archives to be added! TI-Planet support is planned in the hopefully-not-three-years-away future.
-An overhaul of command line options and further modularization / code cleanup / etc of bits of the project. (At least, that's what my changelog claims, it's been so long...).
-Changes made by KermM for Sandpaper to the calcrepo backend were merged in as well.
(For a more detailed changelog, take a look at the git commit history on github).
If you forget what this thing is: it's a command line tool to query ticalc.org (and now other sites). As a quick and silly example, "calcpkg -r ticalc list Quadratic" will probably list all the correctly-spelled quadratic solvers on ticalc.org, and "calcpkg -r ticalc get Quadratic" would download them all (if, for some reason, you really wanted all of them).
The backend library is also available for anyone who wants to do something that requires having access to the {ticalc.org, Cemetech, Omnimaga} archives; as I mentioned above, components of calcpkg were used as part of Sandpaper.
If you have a feature request / bug report, either tell me about it here or make use of the issue tracker.
Also, the screenshots on the project pages are now out of date, so I should really update them...
