init.sh to-do list

There's no specific order in that list. All that is subject to appear in version 1.x.y of init.sh.

• Better error management system
• Fix --keep-going option not properly working
• Add a function for boolean variables to accept true, yes and 1, and false, no and 0 answers
• More modules
• Add support for CentOS
• Add support for Slackware
• Add support for more distros including BSDs
• Add groups for computers
• Improve output
• Add --quiet option to hide run commands output

Here are ideas for version 2 of init.sh:

• Support for system dependent modules
• Idem potency (if possible)
• Better configuration file design with a proper parser (ini style maybe)
• Configuration designer (CCmake style maybe), can't be done in Bash
• Language support and translations?

What will never appear in that todo list (so don't ask) :

• Windows: don't ask for Windows support, it will never happen, and don't make any sense
• MacOS: same as above
• Base language change: the heart of init.sh is BASH, and will always be

Knowing all that, you can still send feature request if a desired feature do not appears in that list.
