use proper cli parsing library #3

Open sparez opened 12 years ago

sparez commented 12 years ago

integrate a ruby cli parsing lib so to offer at least basic help, version and verbosity control as options. make sure it respects the following requirements:

support for options
support for positional arguments
decent support for testing the CLI parsing

sparez commented 12 years ago

after some testing, I discard trollop for 2 main points:

difficulty of proper testing
cumbersome support of arguments

had also a look at mixlib-cli and commander but it seems that both do not offer support ofr positional arguments, not at least in an easily accessible way

selected replacement: methadone, from the same author of GLI but note that GLI is overkill for scrapevg, we got no commands atm.
