The benefit of rmt over trash-cli is that rmt has almost the same set of arguments as the rm command, and it is easier to alias between rm and rmt than thrash-cli. Also, rmt is written in rust and, therefore, more easily installable because you have to move the binary to usr/local/bin than trash-cli; it is necessary to install a python interpreter.
- pabs3 4y agoIn most situations installing trash-cli and its dependencies is a single command (apt/dnf/etc), while with rmt you need to pick the right tarball for your system, download it, unpack it and then install the binary, or manually build it from source.
- Amine_Ztn 4y agoIt's my first project in rust, I didn't really know how to go about getting the most practical installation possible. But thanks for the feedback, I'll work to make the process easier.
- pabs3 4y agoNot sure about rust stuff, but trash-cli is simply just packaged for all the commonly used distros. https://repology.org/project/trash-cli/versions https://repology.org/project/trash-cli/versions
