[PACKAGE REQUEST] jq

URL: https://stedolan.github.io/jq/

jq is a lightweight and flexible command-line JSON processor.

jq is like sed for JSON data - you can use it to slice and filter and map and transform structured data with the same ease that sed, awk, grep and friends let you play with text.

@LePresidente In the absence of jq in Nerd Pack, I employ a user script that runs on First Array Start Only to d/l jq and the dependency I found:

#!/bin/bash
cd /tmp

wget https://packages.slackonly.com/pub/packages/14.2-x86_64/system/jq/jq-1.6-x86_64-1_slonly.txz
wget https://packages.slackonly.com/pub/packages/14.2-x86_64/development/oniguruma/oniguruma-5.9.6_p1-x86_64-1_slonly.txz

upgradepkg --install-new jq-1.6-x86_64-1_slonly.txz
upgradepkg --install-new oniguruma-5.9.6_p1-x86_64-1_slonly.txz

I THINK you could put the .txz files in /extra and they would get installed on each boot...but I'm not certain on that one.
