Pkg.jl: Add "pkg> status SomePackage"

Created on 3 Aug 2018  Â·  5Comments  Â·  Source: JuliaLang/Pkg.jl

In large projects with dozens of packages it would be helpful to only show info related to one package e.g. only

pkg> st FileIO
  [5789e2e9] ~ FileIO v0.9.1+ #44b3fd8 ([email protected]:contextflow/FileIO.jl.git) ⇒ v1.0.0+ #44b3fd8 ([email protected]:contextflow/FileIO.jl.git)

Perhaps also show the packages with are only installed as dependecies because of that particular package (not sure about this, though).

enhancement help wanted

Not necessarily, that issue seems to be about showing metadata like license etc, while this is about showing status about the package as installed? (Basically just a filtered pkg> status call IIUC)

As a further suggestion, it would be great to also allow getting information for multiple packages, with syntax similar to ]add:

pkg> st LightGraphs MetaGraphs SimpleWeightedGraphs

I gave it a try in #881. Looking forward to comments/suggestions!

Should this be closed?
