This directory contains code for “url_action”, that is - to pass a given URL, and interprete it as something that can be used to provide “actionable instructions”.

The three main actions are:

For example, you can install a program such as htop like that using a url_action:

install/htop/2.0.1

This would attempt to install htop from source (and compile it).

Similarly, you can remove a package, and you can query the version of a package.

In theory many more URL-related actions could be used, but I wanted this to be primarily limited to the above three actions only.
