Hi all !
I'm back from Japan and back online !!
I resumed the work on slack-get, and yet added an option to the slack-get client program.
A while ago I thought about some kind of mechanism to display more accurate search results.
Like everybody before myself, I came with a score system where result are evaluated by not-so-simple rules.
As a result each package (I mean Slackware::Slackget::Package) returned by the daemon (sg_daemon) contains a little more data and particularly have a "score" number.
This score wasn't use until today. It's now possible to limit the displayed search results.
For exemple :
slack-get --mid-score search lives
Will display only result with a score greater or equal to 10. Score values can be infinite but most of the time they are under 50.
From what I experienced they are going from 0 to 50. the lesser the score the lesser the probability for he result to be accurate.
By default, slack-get now skip all result with a score under 5.

Well that's not a big improvement, and I still need to write the code for dependencies tracking, but hey ! I'm back to work :)
