ABRT CLI rework

[Ernestas Kulik]

Hi,

As we are all well aware, ABRT has two CLI tools (abrt-cli, from
abrt-tui and abrt, from abrt-cli-ng). For a long while now, we in the
team have been pondering doing something that would result in only one
surviving. In that vein, I would like to invite you to share your
gripes, use cases, wishes as comments on
https://github.com/abrt/abrt/issues/1394, as new issues or otherwise.

Some topic suggestions:
  - Language choice (Python-less environments? Preference for NIH to
have minimal dependencies?)
  - Package separation (bundle with ABRT / as a subpackage / as a
separate package/project)
  - Command compatibility for whatever automation there may be
  - bash completions (abrt-cli-ng uses argcomplete, but it doesn’t
work on zsh for me OOTB)
  - pls fix <bug>
  - Something something containers

I only ever use abrt-cli. I don't even have abrt on Fedora Workstation
(or Server). This is a lot of abrt stuff...

Do not judge by the number of packages.
Most of those packages have only few files.

I wasn't. I've just installed it and I can see some UI differences
already.

1. `abrt ls' doesn't show which package the crashing binary belongs to
   while `abrt-cli ls' does.
2. Same for crash reason.
3. `abrt' without any parameters outputs a condensed version of
   `abrt ls', which is great!
4. `abrt' has a 'bt' option, which is great. `abrt-cli' lacks this.
5. Same for 'gdb' and 'di'.

All in all, abrt-cli-ng seems to be much better in terms of convenient
features. My only compliant is point 1 above, which seems to be covered
by https://github.com/abrt/abrt/issues/841 .

Dominik

There should be a science of discontent. People need hard times and
oppression to develop psychic muscles.
