    Description

      Suggestion to add an interactive/shell/prompt mode for the installer's CLI.

      This means the end-user invokes the installer or maintenance tool with the keyword to starts the interactive mode. The user is given a prompt to run any of the existing commands until explicitly exited. This means single commands could be run multiple times, or different commands chained:

      $ ./installer.run interactive
      > check-updates             -> updates available...
      > update                    -> success!
      > exit
      $ ./installer.run interactive
      > search qt                 -> too broad output, let's narrow the search..
      > search qt.qt6.620         -> output: qt.qt6.620.gcc_64,... etc.
      > install qt.qt6.620.gcc_64 -> success!
      > exit
      
      $ ./installer.run interactive
      > list                      -> output: qt.qt6.620.gcc_64,... etc.
      > remove qt.qt6.620.gcc_64  -> success!
      > exit

      This would potentially speed-up the CLI usage, if it would be possible to avoid fetching, extracting and evaluating metadata again for every command.
