Add ability to filter for specific items (include / exclude) #1

Closed JoshStrobl closed 6 years ago

JoshStrobl commented 6 years ago

This is a feature request to add the ability to filter for specific items, or exclude them, when performing the following subcommands: fwd, rev, ow, such as via flags -i / --include and -e / --exclude. When it's set to an empty string (default value), no package name include / exclude would be performed and thus retain the current behavior.

Use case: I'm updating gstreamer-1.0 and only want to see the reverse dependencies that are other gstreamer-1.0 packages, such as gstreamer-1.0-plugins-bad. Now while I could technically just pipe the output of eopkg-deps into grep, I may lose out on all the fancy output that's being done, instead of just being able to run something like eopkg-deps rev gstreamer-1.0 -i 'gstreamer-' or eopkg-deps rev gstreamer-1.0 -e 'gst'

Sooo. I'm going to handle this in the ypkg version so that we ignore patterns (think TeXLive). That will also solve the problem of not having to mark sub-packages in "todo mode".
