three ways in, three ways to slay 💅

🎀 USAGE 🎀

so this program is designed to create a specfile from a source file, a url, or a name. pick your fighter, bestie 🫶

Usage:  oct2spec -p <name>
        oct2spec -u <url>
        oct2spec -s <source>.tar.gz
        oct2spec -s folder/folder/<source>

the source can be in the same directory or in a subdirectory. no cap, it will find her. 🔍

📝 the info about the packager should be filled in /etc/oct2spec.conf. or ~/.oct2spec.conf — not me reminding you to fill out the paperwork, but like, do it. it's giving responsible. 🙈

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

• -u, --url — used to download and generate the specfile directly from the url of a tarball 🌈 like, you hand her a link and she does the rest, main character energy fr fr
• -s, --source — used to generate the specfile directly from a tarball available locally 🍓 local girlies stay winning
• -p, --package — used to generate the specfile directly from the name of the package. the sources are directly retrieved from Octave Forge ⭐ iconic behaviour honestly
