[Bug 627622] Re: when adding a command, check to see if package is installed

 

What happens if the user is into another machine through ssh?
Should clicompanion try to discover if the package exists in the remote machine?

Wouldn't it be better if it just shows a warning instead of avoiding
entering a non-existent command?

It would be tricky to know if the command is a function or some binary
if the tab's path is modified  (if the path is different from the path
of the shell that executed clicompanion).

But surely it is a great feature to have :)

Also, are we developing only for Ubuntu and Debian? Or may we try to
develop for some other major distros? (rpm based, gentoo, etc.) Because
the package manager should be the correct one.
