quarg - Searching Quassel

Wolfgang Müller

Synopsis

quarg is a command-line search tool for Quassel. It supports connecting to both SQLite and PostgreSQL databases and has a wide range of search options. Mostly born of frustration with Quassel’s built-in search, quarg aims to be a simple and easily extensible search platform.

quarg is written in Python, enabling it to work on a variety of operating systems. It has successfully been tested on Linux as well as Windows machines.

Requirements

Usage & Configuration

See quarg(1).

Installation

First, create a virtual environment and activate it.

python -m venv venv
source .venv/bin/activate

Now you can install the downloaded tarball with pip:

python -m pip install quarg-1.0.0.tar.gz

Remember to make sure you install psycopg if you intend to use the PostgreSQL backend:

python -m pip install psycopg

quarg should now be available in your shell:

quarg -h

If you happen to use Gentoo, feel free to use the ebuild in my overlay.
