This patch-set makes a variety of usability improvements. The most significant of which are as follows:
Replaces the command line interface with verbs
Previously the different
marlintool.shactions were performed by different flags set by the user. This is problematic, because other flags are context-specific on various commands which makes the interface rather messy.This patch-set contains changes this so that it is invoked with
marlintool.sh VERB <arguments>- similar to thegitcommand line interface.Downloads are now cached
Some components are large and take a significant length of time to download on slow connections, which can make configuration of the
marlintools.paramsfile a time-consuming process.This patch-set contains changes so that these downloaded files are stored in the
.cachesub-directory.
